Just had a major shock
Posted by Roger Hunter on June 16, 2007 at 07:41:33:

Hi all;

I came into my office this morning, fired up the computer and sat staring at a blank screen.

Wouldn't boot.

Tried booting from a rescue disk. Nada.

Both hard disks missing.

Finally shut it down, opened the case, unplugged the cable, scratched my head, put everything back and powered up.

Booted up normally, everything present and accounted for.

First rule of computer repair; fiddle with it.

Probably corrosion on the pins is my guess.

Roger
