PC won't turn on. It seems it isn't a power-supply problem..
Greetings everyone...
The reason I'm writing this is because I'm having some problems with one of my computers. It all happened when I shutdown the machine, it shutdown normally, but the next time I tried to turn it on, it didn't. It seemed like a power supply kind of problem, since, it did not do anything at all. Trying to turn it on, was like trying to turn on a computer whose cable is unplugged. I switched its power supply with another one I had laying around. But, still... it did exactly the same thing. I'm sure the power supply works, because I tested it on other computer. Could it be that the motherboard is damaged? How can I know the problem? If you any of you guys could point me out to a online hardware troubleshooting guide (or perhaps enlight me with your knowledge and experience), it would be most appritiated. Sorry if this thread seems a bit dumb, but I rarely work with PC hardware or anything. I try to take best care out of my machines and its rare that they have (cost-effective, fixable) hardware problems. Again, thanks for the future replies and help any of you may bring. Cheers. |

Did you make sure that the power-on wire from the front of the case is attached properly? --- Kevin Chalker, Owner (KC COMPUTERS) E-mail: Web: www.kc-computers.com Internet dealer since 1991!!!

Yes, I mean, I'm almost sure of it. The motherboard is a AG8-V or
something, don't remember exactly right now.. anyways, I forgot to say, that when I tried the power supply (both of them), the motherboard showed some weird numbers... that's when I was sure electricity was going through that couldn't be the power supply... anyways, I'm almost sure it's the motherboard... I just want second opinions... I want to make sure. Thanks for your time and reply. |

a neighbor had a similar problem, and it turned out to
be the power cable. Also, if the recepticle is on a switch, and it's switched off, then there is no elec reaching the computer which would also cause your symtoms. sometimes its the most basic things, and they are ofter over looked because we take them for granted.
