I got a computer for free from my neighbours who are moving out.
It hasn't been used in a looong time.They said i might use some parts from it and they don't know if it still works but i'd like to see if i can get it up and running.
From the casing,it sais it's an IBM PC340.I think the processor is set to 166 Mhz.
Problem is,when i turn it on,the monitor doesnt light up at all.I can see some activity in the hard disk,but the screen stays blank.I'm getting a beep code from it on startup : 1 long beep,3 short ones,1 long one.
I've also noticed it's missing a fan.
What does it mean,what can i do about it and how can i get this old thing to run again?
Without a fan it wont boot up. Also this indicates the graphics card is dead. Id use it as a paperweight as parts for these will be non-existent.
