I recently bought a used old Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo L D1520 computer from the year 2003. According to the seller it was working fine before the shipping. However, after I got it home, plugged the cables and tried to start it up, nothing happened. I know it's a possibility that I was just scammed but the seller has been helpful and seems trustworthy so I find it unlikely. His guess was that some cables might have been unplugged during the transport but I checked them as well as I can and they seem fine. How do you think I should proceed finding out where the problem is? The computer doesn't respond at all. Only a faint sound comes from the power supply when the power cable is unplugged. Should I try to jump start it from the motherboard? I have never done it before and it seems risky. Or should I get an ampere meter and check if the motherboard gets power? What would be the first thing to break if it has taken damage during the transport?
EDIT: I just noticed that when I plug in the power cable a fan spins for a while
