    Remote location.

    Family member's Presario 5000 just bit the big one.

    Over the phone, it sounds like the power supply.

    I've got a couple of ATX power supplies laying around and I drive
    down there for other reasons periodically.

    How proprietary is the Compaq unit?

    It's model number is "DPS 200P-103E" - and is available retail
    for about $90 including shipping, but I'm wondering if it's worth
    trying to use one of the other ATX power supplies I have laying
    around before spending money for the exact replacement item.

    Pete,

    Compaq has used standard power supplies in its Presario systems going back to
    Pentium 3 days. Try another ATX power supply as a test. If the system boots,
    you know that the Compaq power supply bit the dust. If not, then its likely the
    motherboard, or both... Ben Myers
