Well i finally got my 2091 today, over two months wait for it to be shipped.
I got it all hooked up, even screwed the top back on, and NOTHING!
Looks like the power supply is dead :(
I know just enough electronics to be dangerous. I checked one of the power
leads that is supposed to be hooked up to the new hardrive. On the 5V side
i get almost up to 5V in about a second and then it goes dead. On the 12V
side it barely makes it up to 1V and less than a second dies...
The question is how can i be sure it's the power supply? If it is, does the
whole thing have to be replaced? I'm at a large university with lots of
resources (both people and equipment), are these things fixable?
Is the a 3rd party company that sells plug and go power supplies?
I would rather not do a bunch of splicing, but if it'll save me lots of money...
Thanks for any help.
And yes, the first thing i did was take out the card, and unplug the drive.
