Your computer must be a laptop, and if it's only a few months old it must be under warranty. Take it back to Fry's and have them fix or replace it

Have a look here: Tutorial: No POST (Power On System Test

Although it could be a faulty Power adaptor

Try to do that Kimsland and Tedster mentioned you to and if it won't work then you may use the warranty and return it back when you buy it and they will do what needs to be done or they will give you one new...

No power

let me rephrase it is not "NO POST" is more like no power on
and by the way frys is to far away since the move so that is not an option
any suggjestions?
p.s. i tried a similer power supply (same volts same polirity same plug lower amps)
it did exactly the same thingg

 

[kimsland]

let me rephrase it is not "NO POST" is more like no power on

Well that is counted as no power
Because it doesn't even effectively turn on
And it doesn't even do a power on self test

Hang on, all those last words? I'm just going to put them together

No power on self test !

! Wait that's No POST

Please read the No Post guide: https://www.techspot.com/vb/showthread.php?p=667161

Let me know if you tried everything in there :approve:

not only no power pushing the power button makes it worse
if i push the button all lights go dead unless i unplug and replug in the power adapter then it will charge unless i push the power button then starts all over

my computer is only a few months old

This definately sounds like hardware related. Best to return under warranty
