Would you believe it. After three years my 'dead' Lenovo Thinkcentre m70e desktop PC is still good. All I did was to just plug in a spare over-sized power supply unit (PSU), power it up and it just came back on - right into the screen complaining about no boot media. To get rid of this error screen, I then plugged in its hard disk (which I have removed for other uses) and Windows 7 just booted up like nothing has happened since July 2020.
I can't believe it. I almost trashed a good working computer.
What's next I supposed is to get a new replacement PSU measuring 17.5cm x 6.5cm x 8.5cm. Refurbished PSUs are a bit iffy. Case swap is an option, but that is something that I haven't done before. My confidence is just not there yet. One day perhaps.
Why the change of heart, you wonder? It was only last month that I discovered that Lenovo Thinkcentres (and Dell Optiplex-es too) are high-end computers that uses top grade electronic components. Thinkcentres are bought mostly by big corporate companies. Quality and reliability are Thinkcentres top priorities. Parts that would give problems though are the mechanical hard disk and/or power supply unit. I suppose my little experiment that I described above proves it.
