Here it is: We changed a dimmer switch in the house which required turning of the electricity. Now my daughters computer (older HP Pavilion PC) will not turn on at all. Checked all the connections and there is electricity. When I unplug and replug the power cord from the back of the computer I see a quick green light near the power cord. But it goes right out and the front does not turn on. I had that happen before after a power outage and played around with the plug (holding it down for a while, replugging it) and it turned back on. Not this time. The computer is on good condition and clean. Thanks for the help.

If your computer is not working properly when it is switched on, there is a hardware problem. Most of these problems can be solved by just opening up the computer and removing the dust . Detailed instructions at http://fixit.in/computerbeep.html

Try the computer at a different power outlet. If that does not work than you may need to get either the power cord replaced or the cable that connects the button to the motherboard. Either one is cheap and easy to replace yourself.

possible your on off switch is bad, or the power supply is done. if possible, try a diff p/s or a diff power switch. grab one from a junk puter, switch that is.
