New power supply needed

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

Check your power source first (the outlet, surge protector, UPS, etc.). If
that proves good, you will need an AC voltmeter to check that power is
getting through the power cable. Also, check to see if the power supply has
a 'reset' button.....some do, some don't.
Heirloom, old and decent power supplies aren't real
expensive

Check the ON/OFF switch on the back of the case that pertains to the power
supply itself.

If you have an on/off button on the front of the computer, it connects to
the motherboard at two locations, PW and Reset.If the PW connection is loose
the power supply won't turn on.
