negative. only action is blinking red LED when unit is plugged in.
Pushing power-on button results in absolutely no action in unit. doS wrote: Does fan in power supply work?

All connections inside OK, including PS to motherboard? Processor secure?
RAM? If so, a dead power supply or a short on the motherboard are the most likely causes. It's a standard ATX power supply and would be a good opportunity to upgrade to a 300-watt supply from your current 200.

thanks for feedback. talked to independent pc fixer down the street.
asked him about upgrade to 300 watt ps (if that is the problem) and he said that compaq needed proprietary ps. is this true? if so, does compaq make a 300 W supply? thanks again HH wrote: All connections inside OK, including PS to motherboard?

Earlier Presarios had proprietary power supplies. Most since 2000 or so have
standard ATX supplies.

You got it! You can use any ATX supply. The independant "fixer" doesn't know
very much about current machinery, now does he? Deep "HH" wrote in message ... Earlier Presarios had proprietary power supplies. Most since 2000 or so have standard ATX supplies.
