Posted February 22, 2011 Hey guys, I recently came back from travelling and upon trying to start my pc up I hit a stumbling block......it wouldnt turn on at all. Now ive tried the most obvious solution, i.e. check the kettle leads etc but still no luck. It was working when I left and no one else would have been using it, well at least I dont think so. Do you think I would need to buy a new power supply? Any help here would be most appreciated, cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 22, 2011 Absolutely no power whatsoever? Hm, you've probably checked the obvious things but... Check that other things work in that plug socket. Check the little on-off switch on the back of the tower. Try using another cable in case it's the fuse in the plug. Has the computer been without use for a long time?

Posted February 23, 2011 Damp or dust may have gotten to it - a new PSU may be the only way to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 23, 2011 when I plug the psu into the pc a light does show up but the power still doesnt turn on even after I gave it a good dust off.....anyways ive decided to buy a new psu and see if that does the trick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
