No power ... the computer is dead

At Thursday evening the computer screen suddenly gone dark and it seemed the computer isn't starting anymore.

The power light was on. Also the fans of the power supply and the grafic card. But anything else seemed to don't work. No picture, no other passive USB device, no CD-ROM, no beep ... These are the symptoms of a broken power supply.

And this is my vlog about it. I wonder the quality is so low nowadays. A few months ago was a 1 GIG bank of RAM going broken and now it's the power supply. Around 10 years ago the quality was way better.

i also have a similar problem, my monitor led only blinks, fans are working well, cd-rom also operates well, but i can't view anything but when i remove my monitor's pin jack cable from cpu then the monitor displays akward type blue screen... i'm using intel 845 board p3 with windows sp2, with 256 MB and 64 MB ram... in it.... is it my hardisk is dying.... or inbuilt video plug....

If your monitor's color is changing when unplugging it while not switching it off is pretty normal. If you are switching on your computer, is it beeping? If there's no beep then I think it is the same issue as I had: broken power supply.

I am not a pc-technician ... but it can have only a few reasons ... power-supply, grafic card or mainboard (motherboard itself, broken RAM but also broken BIOS). If you don't overclock your pc but having lots of USB stuff connected with your pc then it is mostlikely the power supply. But well, I am not having a magic marble so I can't really tell you what's broken at your pc.

i have the sam problem i cant get a image on screen so i think i am going to get a different video card what did you do?????????????

[BattlefieldDoktor]

Difficult to say but if you aren't using your grafic card all the time on the limit then I guess it is also the power supply ... the power supplies are most likely the problem. But well, I am no pc service technician. When I was fixing it then it was just a guess and well, it worked. With my problem it also looked like the pc doesn't have enough power because e.g. the cd-rom drive wasn't working.

This computer noob made fatal mistakes. 1) when turning a PC on,,do not ever push the botton that fast and so many times,, you can kill the motherboard for good.

2) if you notice every PSU has screws..before buying an entire unit,,remove the screews and see if the fuse is good,,not black with the copper wire broken..Of course most people even stores want to replace the entire PSU for about $50 or more. I replaced the fuse for under $2 for my boss and it worked.

Moin du (Lang nicht mehr gesehen? :))

Ich würde vorschlagne in ein Netzteil zu investieren, das einen namhafteren Herstellerhat. Corsair, z.B. da beide Netzteile (neu und alt) die in diesem Video zu sehen sind von eher schlechter Qualität zu sein scheinen. Viele Grüße

Ok so after a opened my pc and closet it, it wouldn`t turn on (no light no noise, nothing) I took out my graphics card and changed it for a new but i soon realized the new was to demanding for my PSU (psu still working at this point) so i changed back to the old one and when i pushed the power button and then it happend..

Is it my motherboard or my PSU that is dead/wrong (please tell me its my PSU)

[darsh4ful]

iam having dell 1545 laptop but its not turning on even if i press the power button what should be done in  it

no power no light at all

[reympab29]

plz help i got the ssame prob with a sony vaio. I tried to look in the motherboard.... on the power pins but i couldnt remove them.

the main problem: It doesnt want to turn on.... there's a led tilting... but the pc doesnt want to turn on.

[orioncheung]

change the psu.

If the pc has a video card and the only symptom is no video in normal startup, boot in safe mode. If you have a display in safe mode, then you should try to reinstall the drivers for your video card

[TheDearguy1]
