Starting problem with HP Netvista

I have a HP Netvista model 6276 27G which suddenly did not start up.
Checked the switch but not faulty, also cabling from this switch to
motherboard is okay. Scouted around for fuses but none found, also
not in the HIPRO model HP-M14554F3 power unit. I also used another
power cable just to be sure. Switchedthe PC to 115 V and tried to
run the PC from a transformer delivering that voltage, but to no
avail. Anybody any ideas what could be wrong? Does anybody have the
connections for the cable from the PSU to the motherboard? How does
one test such a PSU? And I started out to think this was just a
simple fault........

That computer is an IBM NetVista. I would find another ATX power supply (any
size will do) and test the system again. If the system boots up, then you know
you need to replace the power supply. If you get a large full-sized ATX power
supply for testing, place the system on its side, disconnect all the power
cables from the suspect HiPro, connect the cables for the test power supply, and
go... Ben Myers
