About 8 months ago I picked up a lightly beaten but working Tezro for a very good price. It's a quad 1Ghz, 4Gb Flame machine and came with no accessories. I used it at least monthly without problems. Recently it was sitting idle for about 3 months and it seems to have developed power issues.
I get the equivalent of a Mac's 'quarter fan spin' and L1 says "powered off" then "power up error". The only message I can access via the L1 complains about fan 8 being at 0rpm. Serial console however complains about a bad 12v VRM. The LEDs next to the node board backplane connectors are orange.
What I've tried:
Using a 1000W ATX power supply. Same symptoms.
Unplugging fans to find the bad one. They all spin when plugged in and it only complains about 8.
Removing all unnecessary hardware. Same symptoms.
Reseating the HP-style VRM. Same symptoms.
I appreciate any help available here. My initial questions are about fan numbering and which VRM is which. Beyond that I'm not sure. One step at a time.
I am open to offers for the machine, fixed or not, but not actively looking to sell it. Ifit's not too expensive to fix I'll probably keep it around for a while and do some upgrades. I'm in Thailand and I expect shipping to US/EU would be almost as much as a good working machine.
