How to fix my computer?

Question

I think my computer has a virus or something..

When I press the power button, nothing appears on the monitor screen.
The moniter isn't broken though, the light by the moniter power button lights up still.
The hard drive usually beeps when the computer turns on, and it doesn't do that anymore.

So, basically my computer won't turn on at all. [and if you're wondering, I'm using a laptop at the moment]
Just the power buttons light up..

So, does anyone know a way to fix that? Or would I need someone to come fix it for me?

Answer 1

Sounds like a power supply. Any repairman can tell you fairly quickly if that's it. Power supplies run $30US on up, depending on capacity, stability, and to some extent, shaps.

Answer 2

sounds as if the pc's power supply is toast. a good used one is about $15-25.. not at all hard to replace, just look at your wires before unplugging the old one.

and Geek Squad is a RIP OFF

Answer 3

at the top of your keyboard there is a pannel that spans the entire laptop from left to right, it is directly above the keyboard and under the screen, it comes up and the screen plugs in, lift up the pannel and push the screens plug in and see if that helps. if it doesnt you may need to get it serviced.

Answer 4

my computer did the same too it wouldn't turn on, so i checked the back and i saw the red power settings on top i turned it and it worked again. Try this but my old computer just wouldn't turn on so ur computer might be dead.

Answer 5

Re-install the Operating System (OS).

Windows Vista, XP, or whatever.

Answer 6

bring it to "geek squad" at best buy, they fixed my computer in about 45 minutesssss. Immpressive

Answer 7
