I have a computer that just went through a slight move and may have been through a few shakes and minor bumps along the way.
The computer will not power up. I can plug it in and once I switch the power supply to on the motherboard light lights up indicating to me that it is recieving power however the switch does nothing. I have unhooked the switch and tried jump starting the computer by using the two naked wires and a screw driver to see if i could bring it to life but with no success. I have also pulled out the CMOS battery on the motherboard and had no luck after that as well. What should be my next step in diagnosis or what is this indicating?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. The computer is about 2years old excluding the primary hard drive that is probably around 4 years old.
No fans or anything will turn on. The only thing that lights up is the motherboards LED which to me means it shouldnt be the power supply although I’m no expert. PLEASE HELP!!
…Well I have gone over all of the wires and hardware and everything seems to be seated well. I have asked this to other message boards as well and I seem to get two main responses either the motherboard or the PSU need to be replaced, but I have yet to here an explanation why one over the other.
there also does not appear to be any burn marks or anything like that on the motherboard. The only odd thing I noticed was a couple weeks before the move the date and time on the computer were off by a few months days hours and minutes, but everything appeared to have worked fine after. No warnings of any kind in windows xp pro ever. Just stopped working after the move.
