Default Re: I need help!!!!

When you turn it on, do you hear the typical power-on beep and hard disks powering up?

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?

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.

I suggest you throw away your pc and buy a new one. BabyZee will sponsor you a pink color PC...

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.

You have to totally unplugg your socket when you're not using. It's very common in malaysia to get lightning strike and power surges that will kill your pc... Even when it's not on, it'll still get thru.

I always buy a voltage regulator and surge protector as well and always unplug my pc when not in use. Also unplug the phone line as well. It can also cause your model to blow up...

Ezer got some point there filin....
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.

If your pc is some gadjets that you use for gaming or rendering that needs a lot of power that a branded PSU is recomendable...but the money involve will give some people a sakit gigi..

hahaha, filin, this is what andy would say cyber-telepathy..... and only james bond kitty or vampires can do that....

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!!

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?

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?

Yes Ezer, my nephew advised the same thing when my almost 8-year-old monster dinasaur of a desktop fluttered and turned black and white recently. Its time is up. This was what he said, “A freshie will set you back $$$. If you want to keep the old goat, it is going to cost you a lot of trouble getting it fixed”.

So I am thinking of getting the cheapest freshie available or else my kitties will have to starve (me included). Will definitely check out i-Jeanne and i-Dollah. They come without hard disks.
