I have a faulty Pentium 4 workstation with data that I would like to retrieve.
Here are the symptoms & what I've done so far:
- Machine is totally dead. Motherboard LED is lit but that is the only sign of life.
- I have replaced the power supply and bypassed the on/off switch.
- Tried a PC Analyzer motherboard tester but didn't have any power to the card.
- Unpluggged the P4 cable from the motherboard, hit the on/off switch, the power supply fan comes on and I get codes from the analyzer but nothing that seems to be of any value.
- Machine does not boot. Will not shut down by hitting the switch. Bad motherboard or could it be a bad CPU cooling fan?
