* in trouble no power to pc *

collisster · 31 May 2006 at 21:41

hi i'm on a laptop at the moment.
I came to switch on my computer and I heard a ping and no power, i continued to press it to see if anything would happen.
then i decided to take action, i found that the power cable doesn't work anymore, mayb fused so i've replaced that. is there any more fuses inside it? i'm really worried HELP ME PLEASE

thanks

it's very unlikely that the power cable itself has stopped working. Swapping the cable over will likely make no difference.

Is that the same computer you had trouble with yesterday?

collisster · 31 May 2006 at 21:48

yeah it is seems like a totally different problem though.
no power no mother board lights.

mayb the power cable fused as it doesn't work on anything else so i put a fresh one in and that hasn't fixed it.

thanks

So, when you press the power button nothing happens at all? No fans spin etc?

You also say that the PSU power cable does not work on anything else and you changed the fuse in the plug?

Do you have a spare PSU to try?

collisster · 31 May 2006 at 21:53

I havent changed the fuse, i just got a new lead for it. i dont really have a spare psu as i'm not that good with pcs, is there any more fuses inside the case?
no fans no lights anything like that no power light on the back of the psu switch where there normally is, i've tried a different wall socet

i'm really worried :eek:

killer_uk · 31 May 2006 at 21:56

When you say there is a light on the PSU which is normally lit leads me to believe your PSU has had it. The only way to be sure is try another PSU.

its a new psu like bought in november its a hiper type R modular.
can i take the whole pc into overclockers as thats where I bought the parts from?

Mikey1280 · 31 May 2006 at 21:57

What psu is it btw?

I think you can take your PSU into overclockers and get them to see if its faulty for you - if thats where you bought it from.

EDIT: I'm fairly sure you can actually.

collisster · 31 May 2006 at 22:05

i'll take the whole thing is. this is really annoying. i think i saw a white flash tthough i'm not sure.
all i did was shut it down go to fezzi skiing on the dry slope and come back ping ***** up PC

Well....hopefully the rest of the system will be OK.

collisster · 31 May 2006 at 22:09

I dont know where the receipt for all the stuff is

there is no reason that it shouldn't be a good pc.
spec:
hiper PSU type R
geforce 6800 pci e
AMD 3700 939
ASUS A8N premium
1 gb ram

mayb i created a ton of static from dry slope skiing and i pressed the on button and it fried something edit: probably not lol

killer_uk · 31 May 2006 at 22:12

Hopefully you can find the receipt for that stuff.

collisster · 31 May 2006 at 22:20

nope i've got everything but, i've read the manual and it mentions nothing about internal fuses or resets, it has a 3 year warranty though, and its got a 2005 sticker on it, what will OCs do becuase I cant find this receipt?

killer_uk · 31 May 2006 at 22:22

Well if you can't find the receipt then i'm fairly sure that there is nothing you can do - without proof of purchase they can just say it's not their problem?

collisster · 31 May 2006 at 22:23

yeah its a bit of a predicament,

Trigger · 31 May 2006 at 23:06

As long as you have proof of purchase then you can take the whole thing into Overclockers and they will look at it assuming ALL of the parts were bought from them

Sounds like a dead PSU to be honest though. I fixed someone's PC the other week where the PSU had died for no apparant reason. Was fine when I put a new one in it though

collisster · 31 May 2006 at 23:27

all of the parts were bought from overclockers no joke.
thanks for your help I'll try and get there tommoz. Do PSUs die quite often?
