Seems like a not-to-abnormal situation, right? PSU's getting old or overheating protection kicked in? That's not the weird part! It may have overheated, I do know power switches can get flakey in VS4000s but the symptoms tend to be it won't turn OFF not on't turn ON but I guess if the switch is not contacting correctly it could be that too. the switch isn't, as far as I can tell, directly controlling the current, it is in some kind of latch circuit that unlatches when you flick it to 'OFF'. I think it's an early 'soft-power' implementation. I moved the UPS further away. Very possible it got bumped and got too close to the UPS. Full explanation: http://dectec.info/vaxstation-4000-power-switch-issues-and-cleaning/ Thanks! Also talk to Mark Wickens, he's had a few issues with 4000/90 PSUs. When I rebooted the system...it had decided it was suddenly /2015/ and all the licenses expired. I've heard of systems resetting to the past when something happens...but NEVER the future! That is odd, but Mark W remarked on my blog about one PSU failing and spiking his 4000/90 so badly it fried several parts, it's possible it could have upskittled the TOY clock? Fans would click for a second and then kick right back off. It stopped doing that until I removed all the drives. Plugged 'em back in after opening the PSU to look for obvious faults and found none. Everything is working fine now...Strange. -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Projects
