DaKeith Posted March 30, 2006 CID Share Posted March 30, 2006 well, u could try to take it back to where it was and see if it comes on, and if it does, than u might have a bad outlet are the breaker might have triped. and if it doent come on there, u powersupply might have decided to die on u.

Just in case you crow'd your power supply do this....unplug it from the wall for about 4 minutes and then plug in again (make sure the pwr switch is off when ya do this). Then try...if still nothing then you have a bad pwr supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cholla Posted March 30, 2006 CID Share Posted March 30, 2006 alan8187;It's possible its a bad power cord. Or when you moved your PC it might have pulled on the terminals where the power cord plugs into the power supply.Unplug the power cord & see if these feel loose.I don't know your level of technecal ability & much more might get you fried if you don't know what you are doing.

tommie gorman Posted March 31, 2006 CID Share Posted March 31, 2006 The thing about working on problems is that you learn more. And if you are going to trash it anyway, you don't have anything in it anyway. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
