I recenty replaced my power supply on my eMachines, and now the computer just wont start. The light in the front will turn on, but just stay on. When I connect my moniter, it just blinks. I have tried replacing the video card, but the problem persists. What other measures can I take to resolve this issue?

It sounds like you might have a dead mobo there. The computer isn't even getting to POST (you know...where it beeps).

My guess is a dead mobo.

How would I check the mother board? I have tried different video-cards, and no result. It might be that, probably is that.

So, you'll need to replace that...If you buy at a local PC shop and explain the problem, they might have a loaner you can try with...

why was it replaced?

Did you check that everything (Like the RAM, etc.) was not unseated?

I agree, it may be the MB, but it should not hurt to make sure that everything is seated properly.

I was having that problem with my Lattitude D800 carried it inand was told the motherboard was bad. I came to this site and after trying several suggestions I removed the memory and reinstalled it and it came right up. It will only take a few minutes to try and might save you a whole lot of headaches. Hope it works for you like it did me.

when you change the power supply on the emachine unfortunately you have to change the motherboard as well.
