My computer won't come on!! Help

[OKNancy]

I'm on my daughters computer

I c ame i
n this morning and turned on the power button and NOTHING

I usually let my computer run 24/7. My daughter networks with mine and she stays up late.likes to acces the music andd stuff. So anyway I decideed, heck, I'll just give it a rest tonight

Put "shut down computer" and walked away I never came back a physically turned it off.

SO now I pushed the button anc it won't power up

The cable modem, monitor and storage drive ( thank god I got a storage drive to back up stuff) all are on and powered.

I'll be going through troubleshooting site this morning.and a little later I'll take the back off and check for dust, etc.

ANy help?

If not, there might be one less mod in LBN for a while

1. I know this is simplisitic

but check the power cables to make sure everything is plugged in properly before you do anything else. Also do you have a surge protector on that outlet? If so, did you remember to reset it?

2. Power Supply?

Check the AC cord first. If everything else runs off the same outlet and is up and working, the power supply in the computer itself might be bad.

3. I have seen many fixed by unplugging for a short time.

Unplug the AC cord for a bit, plug back in and try again.
Don't know why it works, but I have seen it work many times.

4. I'll try that

I have an awful feeling about this however. I'm pretty sure power is getting to the computer becuse everthing else if on

i did notice my fan sounded a little cranky the past few days

6. Here's A Flow Fhart To Help Diagnose The Problem

A power supply is fairly inexpensive and easily replaced if it comes to that: http://www.fonerbooks.com/power.htm

I unplugged the cord. also flipped the reset swithch by the power cord. I heard the sounds of a fan or motor possibly comming on and a lot of clicks..in fact when i push the power button on the front, i hear a click sound from the speaker

Geez i have all my business stuff on this damn thing

9. only because it happened to me

I don't want to ask you this...is your monitor on?

[fknobbit]

10. Me too !

Only the problem was the monitor plug was not tightly seated. Nearly drove me crazy.

8. LOL - I kept

messing with the power cord and the reset switch and then I banged on the computer and blew in the holes. I'll clean it later with compressed air.

I came on!!

Remember everyone - back up everything

Thanks all for trying to help.

11. it may be possible it wouldn't come on because your

fans were dirty and not rotating.

[OKNancy]

12. Yup that is my thoughts too

but I'm leaving it on for a while before I clean it out
Gotta' go check on disruptors in LBN --evil laugh BWHAHAHAHA
