A friend of mine brought me his eMachine c2685 computer after it decided to crap out on him. It is a business computer that has NO upgrades and is only used for word processing, excel, etc. not even the internet! Anyways, the computer one day refused to boot. This is what I have tried / noticed:
* Tried new power cord
* When first plugging into wall, I notice that the fan does NOT spin at all, something I have noticed before when I first plug a computer in.
* When you push the power button, nothing happens. No fans, lights anything.
* There is no led lights on on the mobo when it is plugged in.
This leads me to believe its the power supply that has failed. I hear emachines are notorious for this. What are your thoughts on the PS as being the problem?
