    PC wont start need some help
    « on: March 29, 2009, 08:01:15 PM »
    I had a breaker blow in my house the other day and when i went to start my computer up again it would not start. i have tried everything. i have unhooked everything I have amost taken the whole thing apart. I have a Dell Dimension E510 the start button blinks an amber color and the light on the mother board is green. i have tried everyting that i can think of. I just want to know if this PC is shot or if there is any hope to save it with out spending to much cash.

      Cheers.

      Unplug the PSU and toggle the small RED power switch a few times.
      Plug it back in and power up.

      Does this machine have a PCI modem card installed ? ?
      If so remove it.
