Having Fun with Computers

Nobody’s home and I have six computers to play with. Ah, the memories; it’s like the summers of years ago. What do I do all day for fun? I don’t play sports, I don’t play video games… heck, I don’t even watch TV. I work on computers, both hardware and software.

Yesterday I identified and threw out a dead power supply. Now I’ve got three dead computers to fix up or toss out.

Since this is a web log, I’m going to log a few things that I do. Here’s one computer, with an Enpower badge, that powers up but doesn’t show anything on the screen. It doesn’t POST or even beep at all. Whoops, the RAM is missing. I put in a 64 MB PC100 DIMM. Still nothing. Let’s try popping out the LAN and modem PCI cards.

There we go! Windows 98 is starting.

I’ll post some pics of my workspace later.

    so did you pop them back in before? or after? the “there we go” happened?

    I never put the Ethernet and modem cards back in, actually. They seem to be what was keeping the computer from starting. I’ll test them another time.
