I went to power up my AT&T 6300, which hasn't been up for about 4
years, and noticed that the PSU fan was coming on but the drives and
motherboard didn't seem to be getting power. I opened up the system
and was surprised to find the power supply was corroding. Now I'm
not a PSU expert by any means so this was unexpected. The upper
motherboard appears to be ok but I haven't checked the lower
motherboard yet. It appears I can pull the PSU out and replace it
but I'm curious as to why it began corroding in the first place. You
can see pictures of it on my web site on the AT&T 6300 page or at:

Any ideas? Also, anyone have a spare PSU? I don't really want to go
buy another AT&T 6300 just for this but suspect the PSU won't be easy
to obtain otherwise.
Thanks for any help.
