I have a Presario 6010 US that just shut down on me the other day. I
stepped out of the room for a little while and it had just shut down,
and won't re-start. When I depress the power button, it used to turn
green for a moment, now there is a blinking red light just to the left
of the power button.

I'm running XP Professional, 512 ram and (2) 60 Gig WD Hard
drives.... I'm not getting power from the power supply (fan isn't
working) but I do get that blinking red light. Called "Compaq
support", and was told the unit was out of warranty (no brainer there),
and after being put on hold was advised that my problem wasn't with the
power supply, and I would NOT have to purchase any hardware... but to
fix my problem I would have to pay $$ to talk with their tech support
person, which I don't have at the moment.

Does anyone know where I can find this work around? I would really
hate to drop money on a Compaq tech support person just to find out
that this is a "quick fix".... HELP. If you've got a clue where I can
go, please shoot me a message....

Thanks....
