Okay, and this is what she's saying (I don't know what happened): she went to move the computer towards her, she didn't open anything up, and it stopped. I looked in the computer and checked the connections. Everything seems tight. Again, I don't know how much she moved it (she says nothing sounded like it came loose, and I believe her, but I can't find anything that isn't connected.
John, Have her check to see if there's a mini-rocker style 'master power' switch built into the back of the CPU chassis, at the power supply and in close proximity to the main power cord socket. These switches *usually* override the convenience On/Off/Delay-Off switch that is built into the front of the box. They're usually marked "0" ('Zero' for 'Off') and "1" (On) and are quite easy to inadvertently switch from one position to the other when you're moving/carrying the box around. Be sure to tell her not to touch the recessed "115-230VAC" switch. That switch does something entirely different! ;-) regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
