    Has anyone come across the early Grey M1 Saturn - you know the one with the PSU attached to the top case - with its PSU marked as 1.25A250V ? Also there's XQ155 in very big font right next to the cord plug at the end of PSU board.
    I found one and it powered on 100V but no bootup and no spinning.
    Yet to plug into our 240V but thought to check before I blow up the fuse and/or other component on 240V.

    TIA

    When plug into 100V transformer the power LED is on but no other activity like booting screen and etc. does this mean something else is wrong?
    Had M2 Saturn that showed the exact same symptom before but I sold it as junk already so don't have another Saturn to tinker with...

    Was hoping to fix this one to give to my kid to play...
