Drained
Guess what? I got home to a PC that won’t turn on! Yesterday it was that Invalid partition table thing and now this!
Jeez. I first checked the wires if current was flowing through them (the hard way! Rawr, just kidding) using my Grandpa’s ammeter. No problem here. Next, I checked the insides, maybe something blew up while I was gone. Well, everything seemed ok. I did anything else I could (reconnect the wires, shuffle around the clutter, etc) but still nothing.
I asked around and discovered there was a brownout not long ago. Right now, I’m hoping that the battery in the UPS just got drained. If it was an electrical surge that killed my PC…I don’t want to think about it.
My problem now is that I don’t really know whether the UPS is getting charged or not…and if it’s really the problem. *sigh* I really hope it’s the UPS…
