My #1 machine (with F9 on one hard drive, and XP (to run topo
maps) on the other) won't do anything; it doesn't even turn its
little blue light on.
This *could* be my doing. Fool that I was, I went and
fiddled with what I had in sys-config-network, or whatever its
name is, and also edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Logging out and in
didn't do what I was trying to. I clicked on reboot, meaning
while I was at it to go into the XP drive long enough to update
the virus software.
It hung up, early in the reboot sequence -- just starting
to shut down, in fact, iirc. Reset button did nothing; power
button did nothing; I pulled the plug, and walked away.
When I came back, nothing I could do would make it so
much as turn its blue lights (nor, afaict, a fan) on.
The UPS is on, and running both the monitor and a laptop. I tried
moving the power cable to a different outlet on the back of the UPS; that
didn't help either.
Has the whole machine chosen this odd moment to die the death?
(They do always choose odd moments, don't they?)
Or is there hope?
Btw, I don't speak hardware; but I have a very capable young
friend who is just getting into the business of making computer house
calls; I have emailed him,and he'll reply eventually.
