I actually did try another one. No dice still... My only thought was plugging it into a different outlet, but why would everything else work in the outlet, but not that?

wouldnt, unless that one outlet is broke.

how many sticks of ram you have in it?

To be honest, I don't really know as I don't really know what that means. I assume one or two, maybe one because I probably went with whatever cheaper option at the time...

Germy... I'm IMing you, but I don't think you can see what I'm saying. So, when you turn on the computer nothing at all happens?

The Germanator · 04-10-2005, 02:34 PM

I'm on insant AIM and it's not working sorry about that.

What I'm saying is that I am pressing the power button to turn on the computer, but absolutely nothing is happening. It doesn't even react for a second...I just push the button and it retracts, but it doesn't turn the computer on...Could it be as simple as the button being broken? I don't know...it's troubling.

Do you have any idea what those error messages looked like?

Null · 04-10-2005, 02:40 PM

i'd say either the power supply in the computer, or Ram, possibly motherboard.

theres a way you can test to see if its the button by putting a piece of metal, between 2 of the pins inside, but i dont remember which ones anymore
