How To Repair Emachine Pc When It Will Not Turn On

• #1

My neighbor has an eMachine and we can't get the darn thing to start up. I press the piffling power button and information technology won't cut on. I have looked around outside and in the computer and everything is plugged in correctly. I'm not sure what to do.

What are the possibilites?

It has a 1.0Ghz Celeron (PIII typle) and 128MB of PC100 RAM.

What should I do earlier she takes it to some repair store? (never encountered this earlier...)

Thanks!

I took my power supply over to her house and tried information technology out (Enhance 300W) and nosotros still had the same trouble...

Any more than solutions/ideas?

Thank you!

Likewise, we added a GeForce MX200 and replaced her CDROM with a DVD/CDRW combo. But, everything was working fine for a long time.

Whew, stripping it and putting it back together piece by piece came to mind, but, lots of work over there! lol. I'yard so lazy.

Well, I'grand sure nosotros'll figure out something. Looks like maybe the stripping will exist the next idea. :blackeye:

Or I might just have her accept information technology to a shop... (whether or non that place is reputable is beyond me...)

Thank you!
(Anymore ideas, shoot!, please!)

Hehe...stripping is the best way to troubleshoot this kind of trouble. This is the easiest style to source out faulty settings or hardware. Sometimes in life, there are things you simply need to put a bit more effort to get things running polish.

Yeah, I had checked the push button and everything. Only, she went on off to the shop anyway. Turns out it that lightening ran in on it and damaged the mobo and Processor.

The store wanted quite a bit of money to supervene upon them, so I told her to just go get the unit and bring it to me and I would set it dorsum upwards.

Thank you for all the aid!

BTW, how practise you notice lightening damage??
