power supply problem - Presario 5838
Hi,
When playing a game on our computer yesterday, my husband sneezed violently (don't laugh, he's very loud and literally ground-shaking) and the whole system powered off like a switch had been flipped. I can't turn the system back on. I tried a new power cord, plugged into a different power bar that was plugged into a different (functioning) outlet. Nothing happens. There are no lights on the system and it makes no sound. I opened the case and made sure everything was snug and in place. I cleaned any dust I saw with a vacuum. I tried turning the power on while observing the PS fan, no movement at all. Is there any way to test the Power Supply? There's a part number (152769-001) and a Model number (HP-Q250GF3) on a label on the PS. Is there a specific PS I have to use as a replacement? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you. Regards, Karen |

if the fan don't come on it's probably dead. any atx ps should do the trick. $25 hit probably |
