Hello All,
On Friday it froze – completely seized up – I had to force shut down. Tried to turn it back on and it wouldn’t. I tried a few things but nothing works. Some things about the computer/that I noticed:
-power supply fan blows air out
-fan inside case works
-green LED light on front case is lit
-LED hard drive light is amber
I took out the RAM and put in another stick, but problem persists. I have two hard drives so I tried them each separately but no dice.
When I turn it on I hear it start to go into boot up mode but the hard drive seems quieter than normal. Sometimes I’ll hear a faint beep when I push the power button on, other times not. The monitor nor keyboard receive any info from the computer except for two times when I tried to turn it on, the “Compaq” screen came up on the monitor but hung there and didn’t do anything so I had to force shutdown again.
Any info or insight anyone has is greatly appreicated. I know someone who will take a look at it later in the week but if there’s something else I should do/try please let me know.
edit: forgot to mention that the power LED light on the case stays on (less bright) when I had forced shutdown.
