My computer will not turn on!

[jlassiter88]

Well i just started going to school for PC support and I ran into a problem with my personal computer. Basically, yesterday my computer was working fine and then i woke up this morning and it wouldn't turn on at all. I tried using a different power cord and that didn't change anything, and Dont have a tester to see if the power supply is pushing any electricity. I plan on taking it to school on Monday to get some help but i was wondering if anyone knew anything i could do in the meantime to try and get it working.

Simple option (that has worked before)

Pull out the power cord (again)
Hold in the On button for 30 Secs (dispersing all internal voltage)
Push the power cord back in (really securely)
Turn on

Do that exactly! And then reply back

Still didn't work

It must be either:
PowerSupply gone (actually worse case-M/B)
or
One of the internal connections have become loose (just re-connect them all)

Actually also unplug all external devices (camera printer what not)

Your PSU is likely faulty. Try replacing or testing that when you have the opportunity to and if it's not that, bet on a motherboard or CPU issue.
