UNFORTUNATELY... someone bought this thing ;)

Unfortunately, you keep saying "unfortunately," which makes me want to hit something. Other than that, many thanks for the insightful documentary.

I had this problem. I replaced the Motherboard for $200.
Good as new.

You have a nice personality!

@adiblasi PS-- I am mere days away from acquiring my own fully functional Hartmann Neuron! God, I feel like doing a Tovol up on the rooftop, but the neighbors think I'm already strange. No sense prompting the guys in the white coats. :) :) :) :) Yeah, I have to smile four times, once out each side of my head because one smile just doesn't cover it.

@adiblasi Oh lord, do I remember that plague. I was working as a deskside support rep at an IBM site. I can't remember how many motherboards we had to replace. All because some industrial spy in China, working for a capacitor manufacturer, didn't realize he had stolen only part of the formula for a competitor's electrolytic compound. That sounds like the premise for a tragically funny comedy. If only it had been fiction to begin with.

"and we are now exposing.... oooh!" XD
-
If it's based on a regular AT/ATX compatible motherboard, why don't you just replace it with another one?!

@AlainHubert That's your own fault innit, sitting there for 14 minutes on end, hating the video. You could've, i dunno... stopped watching it?
I need one repaired. Can you guys check it out for me? It does not power on. Could it be a power supply issue?
Thanks!

@dreamtekeuphoric It's probably the capacitors. There are documents that show how to open that thing up -- if the tops of the caps are 'puffy' at the top, then that's the problem. I will be doing a video showing what the bad caps look like. Google the phrase 'capacitor plague' -- that will give you more info on the problem. I will be discussing a board level repair with a friend. If we can do it, we'll get back to you.

2001 A Space Odyssey? I'm thinkin' Animal House ("Thank you sir may I have another").
Ok, you guys are almost as crazy as I am so I'm linking your video to my Facebook page!

@KI6DKV Hey, crazy is good, and I'm glad you linked it to your Facebook page! Part II is coming out soon, and the Hartmann Neuron is indeed repaired!
