Default Power Supply ???


I have alot of old power supplies sitting around. Is there anything I could
do to recharge them or switch out something on the inside to give it power
again??? If not, is there anywhere that anybody knows of where I can send
them off to for this situation?

Any help will be greatly appreciated...

They aren't batteries, they converters, they convert 120-220v AC to DC
of various voltages. When they die/go bad, you send them to the rubbish
bin.

The scrap yard might pay for the copper wiring inside. A
tech school might take them for students to work on. But
computer power supplies have no power that doesn't come from
the line power.

You were joking?

Ask elsewhere. Your question has nothing to do with XP and hardware.
