Post subject: Help, my pc won't turn on | |
|
Any hints on how to turn my pc on?
When it is shut down, the on/off button seems to be not working so the pc won't turn on. Have turned it off at the wall, unplugged it but still no go.
Been happening for a while, but have got around it by not shutting down the pc, but someone else used it last week, and now it won't come back on.
Anyone got any hints? _________________ Kaylene.

I think if it were the powerpack it wouldn't have stayed on in the first place... Although I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to electronics.
Maybe a loose wire connecting the on-off switch to everything else? Get somebody to check the PC with a multimeter. _________________ I would be ashamed to admit that I had risen from the ranks. When I rise it will be with the ranks... - Eugene Debs |

Sounds like a failed power supply (PSU).
Not you can do if it has; just take it in to a tech and get them to replace it. _________________ Whale

That's possible, the fact that it's been working leads me to believe that it could be something as simple as a faulty on/off switch.
Assuming that is the problem, a new case would probably be the most viable solution. You can get em as cheap as 20 bucks.
But like I said "assuming". Almost impossible to tell without actually seeing it.
As Dale said, best to take it to a tech _________________ Formally frankiboy and FrankieGoesToCollingwood. |

Thanks for your advice, the faulty PSU/ on/off switch, sounds a whole lot cheaper than replacing the whole PC! _________________ Kaylene.
