Computer won’t power on

by d1289 . Updated 16 years, 10 months ago

Hi!

I wonder if anyone could help me out:
Yesterday I switched off my computer, and cleaned out all the dust from it (cleaned the CPU fan and heatsink too), but after having reassambled it I couldn’t power it on.
When I push the button, the led lights up, and goes out immediately when I release it. The fans don’t start, there aren’t any POST error beeps (although after numerous tries, it did switch on once, no idea why).
I checked out the power supply(used a working one, and it still didn’t work).
I also checked the power button mechanism (removed a working one from another pc), but that didn’t help either.
Also tried removing any of the two RAM modules, it didn’t help.
I also checked the motherboard for any visual damage, but everything looked fine.

My computer specs are:
HP Compaq DC7100 CMT
Intel P4 3,3 GHz
2 Gb RAM
Motherboard chipset: 915G Express

So any help or suggestion would be much appreciated.
