Desktop Bootup Problem
« on: March 26, 2008, 10:28:07 AM »
Hello,

I am having a problem with my HP Pavilion a650y desktop computer and am looking for some help. About 2 weeks ago I shut down my computer because I was traveling. I left for 2 weeks with the computer shut down but plugged into a surge protector and then into the wall. Upon my return, when I press the power button, there is not response whatsoever from the computer - no sounds, lights, fans, etc. The same happens when I plug the computer straight into the wall and try to boot up. Looking around to the back of the computer, just below where the power cord connects there is a small green light. While the computer is connected to a power source, this green light clicks and flashes quickly.

While I was gone for 2 weeks I am told that the power went out a few times.

Can anyone offer some ideas as to what this might be?

Thank you for your time!

-Max

    Sounds like the power supply mite have overloaded.  If the power went on an off like that.  Iwould try an get another one to test it with if possible.
