Greetings; this is my first posting, prompted by a failure in my
trusty 100+.  I tried hooking up a new printer (probably only coincidental,
but I include it just in case) and now NOTHING happens when I try to
power up.  Nothing: no fan, etc.

I checked the circuit breaker; it's in.  I assume it's a dead power
supply.  Questions:

1. Is my assumption correct?  Anything else I should check?

2. Any suggestions about how/where to replace broken stuff?

Thanks ... Al Thaler
