My computer has gone dead?

Question

When I switched on today, there was no power light on the box. I have checked the fuse but still nothing. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

It sounds like it could be an internal fuse somewhere and it might be tricky to find. I'm afraid that it might mean a trip to the menders!

Answer 2

Underneath the cord socket on mine, there is another off/on power switch. It can be bumped on and off easily.
1- see if you can plug a lamp into the receptacle where the computer gets power.
2- if there is, check the voltage selector switch near where the cord plugs in. (should be set for the voltage in your area).
3- press the off/on switch several times if all of the above steps check out and last of all check out your power cord itself. If none of these work, one last idea is to take the computer to another location. (Just the box and cord) Switch it on. If it still is dead, it needs looking at by your local PC doctor.
Good Luck ! !

Answer 3

You power supply in the computer could have blown. Does it smell?? Thats usually a sign it has. If not, open your computer and see if a small green light near the RAM modules on the motherboard is on, if it is then ther is power going to your motherboard but there is a loose connection somewhere.

Answer 4

Perhaps it's the voltage switch. On the power supply on the back of the computer is a red switch, it will say something like 110/ 220. One time my kid switched mine to 220 and it wouldn't turn on. Maybe something similar happened to you.

Answer 5

make shure the power lead is still pluged into the computer,the other fuses are inside the computer but they only blow if there is a short,or if they are very old,as fuses do wear out.
