I think you may be right about voltage. Ever since I moved the unit to a different outlet i've had issues and your the second person who has indicated that as a potential root cause.
What's the chance of the power supply being fixed cheaply or should I just go buy another used one for < $100?
I have no idea actually but I'm pretty sure no activity was in occuring since no tape was in the drive. The only reason I notice something was wrong because Veritas was just sitting there so I went and physically looked and the LCD panel was blank. Powered off the unit, powered on and the only...
I have a 9730 with just a single drive and last month the unit stopped working. The DLT drive still has power but the LCD was blank and the power supply fans were not running. So I replaced the power supply and now two weeks later it has shut down again with the same symptoms. I'm not if 9730...

Attempting to get this 9730 working with little luck so far. The unit has 1 35/70 drive, attached to a 2944UW card with diff. terminator, windows 2k server. The problem so far has been having this unit and/or drive seen on the scsi chain. I've tried directly attaching the scsi cable to the...
