Computer won't start up Nike Blazer wdro |

Computer won't start up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
First off let me say I am absolutely no expert on the insides of computers whatsoever,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. I'm a fast learner though so lets hope I figure everything out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
While I was on vacation this summer, my mom unplugged y computer beccause it was kind of beeping and stuff and it wouldn't turn off. I got home,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], plugged it back in and i heard this clicking/beeping sound and the power button was flashing between orange and green really really fast. The fan was still moving,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and holding the power button down didn't turn it off. It doesn't start up, doesn't do anything other than what I just said. Screen stays the same as if it were off, though the moniter's button turns green at first then goes to yellow. this computer is a 4-5 year old eMachines computer. eMachines is known for having crappy power supplies is what i've heard, so maybe this is a power problem? I dusted the inside of the computer a bit but didn't get very far at all because the computer duster ran out. I don't know how to tell the info on all the memory, power,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ram,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whatever. Guess you'll just have to tell me how to. Well that's it.
Open the case and remove the hard drive from the rack but keep it connected or reconnect it once removed; usually you have adequate length to the ribbon and power cables to lay it along side the opened computer case. Power the computer up and get up close and personal with the drive to determine if the clicks are coming from it; sometimes if you just rest your fingers on the top of the drive (not the side with the electronic circuit board), you may even feel the tapping if it is the drive making the noise. If it is the drive,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], buy a new one--make sure you're getting an IDE (or EIDE or PATA) if you have an older computer with the wide ribbon cable or a SATA if you have a more recent computer and you don't have those wide ribbon cables. Play with the old drive if you like; I always disassemble them for the magnets and shiny discs.
If it is not the drive making the clicking, find an adventuresome friend with a computer and put the drive in their computer temporarily as the secondary or slave drive. You can use My Computer (Windows Explorer) to look over the contents and run diagnostics on it. It is unlikely, but it might need to have the operating system (O/S) and software reinstalled; were this the case, you could still get into BIOS on startup before the hard drive is accessed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though.
Just for grins,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], make sure the RAM is seated correctly in the slots. Snap them out and reseat them or even switch positions if there are two of them. You might even remove one stick at a time and try to fire up the box to see if any signs of life show. But,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], make sure they are as they should be in place. If you have a local shop, see if they will test the RAM for you. I always give the RAM modules the big eye and a good whiff for any fried chips (they will not smell of russet potatoes and vegetable oil).
Now, should the drive and memory check out okay,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], my guess would be a problem with the motherboard (MB) since you say you've already replaced the power supply (remembering to connect both the big 20-pin connector and the correct little 4-pin connector properly--or you might have just one big 24-pin connector). I have had instances where nothing would stir when the power was turned on for a computer with a bad MB and instances where the fans would whir, but either way the MB was toast.
If you're up for a bit of a challenge,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], search Fry's or Micro Center for a MB/processor/memory package and replace the bad MB. If you're not up to it or don't want to pay someone to do it for you,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], get an inexpensive barebones box (no peripherals and no operating system and usually no drives) and install your hard drive and optical drives and any cards you might have installed in the recently deceased box. Read the manual carefully and remember the need for new drivers to cover the MB.
okay,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so shortly after I posted my last message, I went and checked out my computer some more and figured the clicking sound must have been a physical sound of some sort. So I knew it had to be a fan, the hard drive, or the floppy disc drive. The fan that cools the cpu is running, and the light by where you plug the power cord into the computer is not steady, it's slowly flashing.相关的主题文章:
