Had a customer yesterday that brought their computer into the store and they already had a diagnostic done at one of the “big” chains. They were told they needed to replace the power supply and motherboard. This was all based on a light blinking on the back of the power supply.

Of course upon looking it over decided to test the power supply (failed). Then tried another power supply and the next thing you know it booted up correctly.

Have to be careful on who checks your computer and what they tell you needs replacing. Something this easy almost cost the customer about $400 (the quote they received).
