What does happen when it's switched on, anything,any noises etc....
I'm just curious rather than interested......

I had the machine from new, and very rarely turned it off.

Its original hard drive (13GB) failed many years ago and was replaced
with a 40GB one. About the only time I turned the machine off, was
when I expected to be away from home for more than a couple of days.
On one particular trip I had been away from home for several weeks.
When I returned, I attempted to switch the machine on, but all that
happened was a pop sound, a flash from somewhere and then nothing. No
lights, sound or movement of any kind. I located a fuse on the circuit
board, but it was not blown. So quite what the 'pop' was I don't know.

It is available to anyone who wants it, as it would make me feel
better about it finding some use, rather than end up at the local tip.
I have been trying to find the original CD-ROMs, but not had much luck
yet.
