Computer Problem? ?

I own an E-​​machine com­puter and i recently car­ried it (among other things) across the coun­try from Iowa to Cal­i­for­nia it was fairly well pro­tected (at least i thought it was) but i tried plug­ging it in and when I pushed the power but­ton noth­ing hap­pened. Any idea what the prob­lem might be? Do i need a new computer?

    Did the out­let you plug it into have power? Try it in other places. Make sure all plugs are tight. If none of that works, you may have blown the power sup­ply. You could also knocked a wire loose inside.

    First thing I would check is to make sure your power sup­ply is work­ing cor­rectly. It could be some­thing as sim­ple as a dead bat­tery and the power source not work­ing so the com­puter is essen­tially dead.
    If that doesn’t work try to see if any­thing else is pick­ing up (i.e. wire­less card…you can see this by the light on the front of the com­puter)
    Next thing to do is check your war­ranty. See what’s cov­ered, and check with the store where you pur­chased it.
    Pay­ing a few hun­dred is cheaper than a new comp. unless you just want some­thing new.
    Try the sim­ple stuff first and then worry when noth­ing else works.

    good luck-​​j

    Do you get any lights at all when you switch on?

    Try replac­ing the plug fuse first, then the PSU if there’s no power.

    After that it may be more cost effec­tive to just get a new com­puter and get the data off the disks of your old one…

    I’d open up the PC and look inside for any obvi­ous prob­lems with dis­con­nected wires, etc.
