hmm the power supply is probably shot. try opening up the computer and do these things:

1. Make sure the power button lead is plugged into the motherboard correctly. Jiggle it around a little. Then try turning on again. If no go...

2. Make sure the atx power connector (plug from power supply to teh motherboard) is plugged in securely. Test again.

3. Unplug all hardware from teh computer, leaving just the motherboard, cpu, vid card, ram and see if its starts...

4. Try resetting the cmos. to do this u have to locate a cmos jumper, switch the pins that it overs (there are three, it will probably cover 1 and 2, make it cover 2 and 3) for a few secoonds then put back. test again.

5. try using a different power supply, one that you know works for sure.

if none of these work, then you have either got a faulty motherboard, or the power switch is broken.

This is what you gotta do.

Start with the cmos... should be alittle connector near a lithium battery (the circular one on the bottom right). Move it from pins 1-2 to 2-3 for a few seconds then back.

Dont respond until after you do this.

well...theres case fan, the psu fan, the vid card fan.

and you are calling these people stupid?

and yes i meant the cpu case button

there is no such thing as a cpu case button. its your computer power on button

but if you dont know how to do half the things rossco says, i suggest you leave your friend&#39;s computer alone

If you&#39;ve never before opened the case of your computer up, then I&#39;d agree with the above sentiment, maybe try changing the fuse in the plug of the power cord, or try switching the case power cord with another one (eg the one for your monitor).

Just send the damn thing to me, cover shipping, and ill have it working in an hour. Then ill send it back to you. Free of charge.

EDIT: And I thought I told you not to respond til you did those things

If none of them work? I&#39;d suggest just doing your #5, since that would leave you just as close to the answer as doing all of them.
