I figured it couldn’t hurt to drop in to HARD OFF on my walk back from the mall.

Wandering through the Junk PC aisle, a double-take, what is that teal beauty on the bottom shelf?

A SiliconGraphics O2? In MY rural Japanese city? How did that get here? The tag showed it had been there for over a week. At $60 I had to give it a home!

Lugging it home in the 31+C heat, squeezing in on the tram and dashing through the rain was a slog but it made it home!

The label at HARD OFF said the LED turned on when powered on, but I was getting zero life. No LED, no fanspin.

First look at the PSU... Well that's a problem.

It was easy enough to unscrew the PSU and re-seat the pin connector. It didn't fix the problem.

When I had the PSU open I also beeped out this fuse which was fine.
