Default Re: IBM PS/2 seems to have got stuck!

If the PSU needs a load, then you can try just plugging in the hard disk drive power. Back in the day when I used to repair PCs (not PS/2, so I'm not 100% sure it is the same), this was the 'quick and dirty' test I used when confronted with a dead machine. If the PSU powers up, then it will confirm a faulty motherboard (or another device connected normally to the PSU).
