Gateway DX6822 won't turn on
« on: August 15, 2011, 05:14:25 PM »
I turned off my machine, and then unplugged all of the cables as I had a new computer desk I was putting together. Once the desk was built, I plugged everything back in, and my CPU now won't turn on. I did not hit it, or drop it, so I'm very confused.

My assumption is the power supply, but I don't understand why that would have stopped working. As well, this PC has the power button built into the case at the top, and I can't figure out how to remove the casing without breaking it. I was thinking maybe the connection came loose from the button, but again, I was very gentle in moving teh machine.

Does anyone have any ideas so I don't have to call Gateway and pay minimum $99.99 to get them to tell me I need to buy new parts?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can't find Gateway DX6822, Gateway has no listing; Google comes up blank.

Do you actually have power going to the computer from the mains?  I don't mean just plugged in.
