No Power up on depressing On/Off button. (by 3 users)


posted by Bird Dog on Nov 04, 2006


The PC has suddenly powered down for no apparent reason in the past with increasing frequency. Today, would not start at all; no sign of life, fans or lights !
Disconnected On/Off switch and found it open circuit. Thought " Gotcha!". Short circuited the two power sw. pins on MB, Nothing.

Disconnected power supply and tried "Paper Clip Test" on 20 pin PSU connector (between green wire and black ).Fan started running. Checked voltages on plugs going to drives, approx 11.8 and 6.6vdc.

What do I check next ?! Hopefuully not the price of a new GV20030812 MB!!
I have the same problem.

I have a W 2646 with the same problem, replaced the power supply and still no power. Think the mother board got taken out with the PS.

Went to turn on the computer the other day and nothing....no power at all. I have since replaced the power supply, but still nothing. I have cleaned all of the dust out (and there was alot) but dont know how to tell what the problem is.

Boogiemaster is correct. I would replace it. checking it like that wont be accurate. It needs to load tested.

Sometimes if the CPU is overheatign it will power down to stop the cpu from buring out.
A power suppluy just supplies power to the motherboard and that's it.
If the CPU gets hot it shuts down and wont start till it cools down again.
