    Computer won't turn on...HELP!!!!
    « on: November 14, 2008, 11:12:25 PM »
    I turned my computer on! Turned it off to move the computer and it won't power on at all now! No changes were made to my computer! I don't understand what could have happened. ???

    Possibly something got jarred loose when you moved the PC. RAM, CPU, display card, power connection.

      Yes that is a possibility. If something inside broke from impact on a table it is likely it is stopping the startup of your computer. Go and see a computer repair shop and get it checked.

      We don't even know what the problem is yet.

      lil_shawty_dk_1, make sure all the power cords are connected.

      If no luck, we need more information. Please look here:

      Fawcie,
      I understand you are trying to assist but we're a Help Forum...
      In another thread you told them to buy a new machine...in this one you're advising to take it to the shop. This is not exactly Help advice.

      You can try the following: Remove all power sources.
      Take off a side panel or remove the case.
      Carefully remove and re-seat your RAM sticks and any addon cards such as video, sound and network cards if you have them.
      Make sure you are properly grounded when doing so.
      Leave the side panel off for now and double check all connections on the rear of the case. Plug in the power and turn it on.
      Inspect ALL fans including the CPU, vid card and power supply to make sure they are operating properly.
      Report back with your results.

        Thank You all for your help so far! So far I had tried doing the following and nothing yet! The computer is not getting no energy at all. The power button won't turn on, the fan don't start! I gently moved the computer when I unhooked everything!

          also check to make sure that the outlet isn't controlled by a wall switch too

            Has your PC got a on/off switch at the back.

            Have you accidentally knocked the AC switch at the back. European setting is 220V and American is110V

              Yes my computer does have that switch on the back! I tried it on both sides though but still nothing! Is there any fuses or anything like that? Maybe it blew?

              It should only be switched to one side.

              What part of the world are you in.

              If that is a 110/220v switch, that could have been a very bad idea. Bad as in destroyed computer.
