My Computer is Down
My PC is down. It is a 5 year old XP by HP. The drives do not spin up, the light on the front panel does not light up and it does not even run the onboard bios. The fan in the power supply is running but not the one in the computer or on the Chip.
I traded the power supply with a power supply from an old computer that works and nothing changed. Is there something I am missing?

That is what I did. I changed out the power supply to one I had in an old computer...pulled the battery and put it all back in the computer. No lights, no beep, no disk spin...the only thing running is the fan in the power supply.
THANKS

Thank you very much...
sorry for the delay...
you didn't mention it whether the motherboard power LED turns ON when u turn on ur pc. if not try changing the SMPS.
Still not working means there will be capacitors next processors usually.. check any misalignment of capacitors.. then it's mothervoad issue.

PC
A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
