A nice lightning storm took out a tv in my apartment and my system. The TV gave a nice bang and started reeking so I know thats shot but the system was properly behing a surge protector and now something isnt allowing it to boot. I hope I don’t need to buy a new board.
It just so happens that I had a power center doing surge protection. You know, one of those that sits under the monitor with the buttons to turn everything on and off individually. Now this is one those power centers that came with a guarantee of protection with money behind it. Unfortunately, I don’t have the original material, or rather its lost somewhere, and in looking online I think the company, curtis computer products, doesn’t exist or was swallowed by a company I can’t find.
Anyways, the system gives the full appearance of running fine, lights go on, fans are spinning… but thats it. There are no beeps and I switched the video card with a known good one and tested the monitor on my laptop. Anyone have any ideas at a reasonable cost to get it up and running?
