I have a slot1 PC that won't power on. My roommate reports that something
smelled burnt when it suddenly powered off. When I checked it out the system
would only power on for a short spurt then go dead after a second, so I'm
suspecting the PSU is shot. Unfortunately, the power connectors on the PSU
consist of 2 6pin connectors and a 3pin standby power connector. I'm assuming
that the unit is an AT model, but I don't know where to find one that has a
standby power connector. Any suggestions other than "buy a new PC" would be
appreciated.
