New PC bought yesterday, connected up at 8 p.m....it would only boot to the BIOS "splash" screen. Hard drive obviously not working. Damn...
Covers off, inspection light out. Multimeter put into use. No 5 volts power getting to the drive plug. Traced it back through the harness to a dodgy soldered connection in the PSU. Not touching that, warranty sticker on it. Took it back to the shop, new PSU fitted. Picked it up three hours later.
Bingo! All working.
