Fuel front light blinking white - bsdero - 03-27-2021
Hi guys,
I have an old fuel. The last time I used it was about 6 or 7 years ago. Before that, it worked really fine.
Now I really want to play with it, but it does not boot anymore. Instead that, wheb I push the power button, the front light blinks white and it never stops blinking. What should I do??
Thanks in advance.

Hook a serial cable up to it, and try starting it. it's probably the env monitoring chip or the PSU going.
The environmental monitoring chip is surface mounted.
The PSU can be replaced with an ATX with one of Kuba's adapters.
