My desktop in my signature is not powering on. I have tried changing the cables which are working fine as monitor is turning on but the Cabinet is not turning on.
What to do?
What to do?
how to check … there’s no light on psuMost likely the PSUs problem, first chech if your power supply unit is turned and is working. If not u might need to get a new psu
Checked that.. no fan spins and no light turns on in the cabinetIf it's connected to the mobo, the fan should spin , as well as the cpu fan once u try to turn the pc on.
Is there a way to bypass the psu just for checking purposes like powering the mobo without the psu.. i think psu converts ac from our current to dc in moboChecked that.. no fan spins and no light turns on in the cabinet
Swapped the power and reset buttons but nothing happened.At a very basic it could be faulty power on button on cabinet! Just swap Power & Reset connectors on mobo and check again using Reset button as power on.
Reconnect all PSU cables again.
Use PSU paperclip test and check if PSU starts or not as a standalone device. If it does not, it’s clearly faulty. Check net if you do not know how to do paperclip test.
If it does power on, it could mean either faulty mobo circuit or may be that PSU is now no longer taking the load of the system. Start with minimum components and check again.
To test PSU/Mobo, you need another healthy PSU.
Followed the above steps but nothing happened. Computer will not power on.So it seems now you have a system that just powers on but does not POST anything on monitor?
Re-seat RAM, GPU, Storage etc. Turn off the PC from Mains and long press Power on button for 30 - 40 seconds to remove any static charges on the board and retry.
If above does not work, clear CMOS by shorting the RST CMOS pins on the mobo for 10 - 15 seconds. However when you do that make sure Mains supply to PSU is OFF.
