Hello,
I have an IBM A21m that is not powering up.
When I press the power button, the hard drive light flashes for just a moment, and then no signs of life.
I'm thinking the power supply, or another component on the main board has fried.
I was looking for some input if I was to replace the main board, would this most likely resolve the issue? Could it be the battery? I tried to boot without the battery in the machine, but no difference.
The machine is used as a print server in my home office for 5 devices.
Thanks for any input
-John
