My old Gateway finally let me down,Any ideas?
I have an old Gateway 400SD4,512 Ram,60Gb Hdd,running Xp Home updated to SP3.The machine has ran flawlessly for over 5 years until today.
I put the machine in its corner about a week ago and tried to start it this morning and it would not do anything except run the fans.There is not a power problem as the AC and battery both run the machine just fine.After the fans are running there is no shutdown until I shut it down. I tested the Ram in another machine,no problems.I put the hard drive on another machine in an enclosure and it was recognized and ran fine.I ran a disk check on it and that checked out fine. I tried the hard drive in the enclosure in the usb ports and it turned so there is power to the usb ports.The disk player also spun a disk so there is power to the machine throughout. I tried the machine on an external monitor,no help. I do notice when the power button is pushed and the machine runs,there is no light behind the little hdd symbol. Ideas Anyone? Tried reset on bottom of machine to no avail.
