"Steve W." wrote in message ... Open the case, pull out the cards,memory and reseat all connections, One probably got knocked loose during the move. Also check the CPU and make sure it is seated. -- Steve W. Life is not like a box of chocolates it's more like a jar of jalapenos- what you do today could burn your ass tomorrow! "Ed" wrote in message le.rogers.com... Hello, I'm trying to fix my friend's computer but I'm not getting anywhere - the basic story is they were moving and the computer was transported in a truck along with other belongings (I know, bad idea). Once they got to their new place and started to set everything up, they discovered their computer (Dimension 8100) will not start. If you connect the power cable to it, it starts blinking in a yellow colour. There's no other lights, no noise, POST, even the fan doesn't start turning - it's dead. Pressing reset button changes the light to green but nothing changes otherwise. From doing google search I've seen suggestions of replacing power supply - don't mind doing that since it's a cheap part but I wonde, if the power supply's dead, shouldn't I be getting completely nothing (i.e. not even blinking yellow light)? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Another google search showed someone mentioning possibly loose video card - tried to remove and plug it back in, no luck. thanks, Ed -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
