 Help! I have a dead Turbo Sport, ZTC-3034-EB type. When I turn
 it on, it clicks, and the screen flickers, then nothing. The hard
 drive doesn't spin up, the flpy drive doesn't access, and yet the
 LEDs give me the indication that it thinks that it's on! So now I 
 turn it off, and it appears to go through a normal power down.

 My first move was to load the power supply down to the specified
 power requirements. (this was done isolated from the rest of the 
 machine) The power supply failed in grand fashon. I replaced the   
 power supply and it didn't fix the problem, it failed in the same
 way.

 Now after a quick and dirty look at the diagrams it looks to me 
 that the power uo logic is in the I/O board. I replaced that to
 no avail.

 So now the only thing left in the power system is this little board
 called the Power logic board. This is a small board that the external
 power supply and the battery both plug into. It has a few relays on
 it and sends power to the power supply for rectification. So I change
 this board. NOTHING. 
 
 So my question to the net is: Has anybody seen this before?
 Can the mylar cpu cable cause it? cpu? does anybody have any suggestions
 for my next move???
 
 Thanks in advance.
