If there is absolutely zero sound and response, it could likely mean that your power supply has kaput.

If there are some sounds, then nothing showing on screen, then could be motherboard or ram problem.

In any case, better ask a friend who's familiar with CPUs or bring to your nearest PC shop for help.


p/s: How did you post this help request if your PC can't power on, using cyber-telepathy? {wink}

hahah, andy, i think filin meant her CPU at home la......and she posted using her office CPU.

Sorry dear, (err, I mean filin, not u, Andy.....hahaha) I'm not sure I can help u there either. but I'll give u my 2 cents of opinion.

Sometimes it could be the cards are a bit loose. Try tightening all the cards in the CPU. If no sounds at all, then just switch on and off the power, and then try turn on your CPU. If you could turn it on after a few tries like this, then that means your battery power in your CPU kaput. Hope this helps.

Haha.. just kidding!

Anyways, I think it's likely your pc got struck by a power surge. If you had it on during the rain these few days there may be a power surge and burned your motherboard or power supply. You'll need to take it to the pc repair shop.

OK cam ni...firstly filin :

1 check kat plug point supaya fius dia masih baik...
2 check ader ke x fius kat belakang PSU[Power supply Unit] kalau ader
samada fius dia masih baik atau x.
3 cuba hidu kat PSU tu, ada x bau hangit seperti lepas baru terbakar.
4 sekiranya ada PSU yg lain cuba tukar kan dulu dan...
5 sehingga ini kalau semua tu dah di cuba dan keadaan nya seperti asal bererti
PSU filin tu dah kaput..rosak..dan mesti di tukar dgn yang baru...andai kata nak beli yg
murah dan masih baik..di Lawyat terdapat kedai2 yg menjual PSU gantian terpakai...
yang baik berharga lebih kurang Rm40-50 saja..manakala yg biasa RM20-30...

Perlu ingat bahawa kalau PC filin yg biasa2 ajer PSU yg 240V dgn kuatan 300-400watts sudah memadai.

ooops, forgot this........i-jeanne is a desktop locally assembled, and name is given in honor of the PM's wife. i-dola is a laptop named after the PM himself. reliable or not? i do not know. we'll have to wait and see. it was announced that they'll be launched sometime end of next month of early oct.

i won't be surprised if it comes w/out monitor, keyboard, etc. but that shouldn't be a problem for u, rite?

But seriously, it beats the shit out of me......I noticed that myself, too....first I log in, then i compose. when i submit, it says i'm not logged on, to log on first. so i log on, thinking my maxis is acting up again (the line drops every now and then). after i log on, i saw hey, my post is already there!! {scared}



the whole pc can explode instantly and goreng me? u serious vivien? there're plenty of thunderstorms and lightnings here in kepong, in fact, nearly everyday, and i'm online all the time. my pc and modem is on 24/7 because my home alarm system and cctv is connected to it, so i don't switch it off. i may or may not be on the net, but nothing is ever turned off.

but maybe i'm protected becos i have a lightning arrestor on the the roof? i live in a condo and i'm on the top floor......does that make any difference?

What??!! i-dola and i-jeanne comes without the hard disk??!! Oh my, I knew there must be a catch somewhere since it's so cheap, but I never imagined it to be without a hard disk! hahaha, this is so absurd........{scared}{sick}{bad}

if you are on a lightning protector device - normally it is a device connected to your computer - then maybe it strikes that device - you need to get it replace..if it is not working - it zap straight your pc - your most expensive part of the CPU might get "goreng"
try opening the box - you might smell the burnt smell {happy}

but you said lightning arrestor on top of the roof hhmmm it wont help
it wont make a difference - unless your pc is next to it... {shy}

err, vivien, it's not really possible to turn off my pc. my home security system is wired into the modem which is connected to my pc, so it needs to be turned on 24/7.

although we have tight security in our condo, it was only completed end of last year and is now only 30% occupied. early this year, there were like 3 or 4 break-ins every day, and now, while the numbers have declined, there are still break-ins. a guard caught the burglars once. and from cctvs in the building, the burglars are identified as the renovation contractors. so, with so many units still undergoing renovation as a lot of owners only settled their last payment and got their keys 2 months or so ago, i need my own home security system.

and err.....it isn't my pc that wasn't working, it's filin's.

mind me asking why is your security wired to the pc - not separate?
so you have a cctv as well...
is it to monitor blackie behavior when left alone too ? {shy}
