The monitor goes on but just stays black.  Ive told her its proably no good
but she wants me to look at it any way.  My first thought is the power
supply must be bad. My question is can I take the power supply from an old
AT machine (p200) that I have and use it in her ATX machine?  Her power
supply reads "output 185W", my old one says "200W".  Thank you.
