E-machine wont power up

I have a t2885 e-machine and it power up. I think the problem may be the power supply. Could their be something else that would cause this proble. Also in what order should the power led, and other connectors be in on this machine?

    E-machine 2885 will not power up. The main switch is not functioning, and the fans at the power supply (ATX-250-12E) or the CPU are not on.
    I have disconnected all connectors to hard drive, CD-R/W and DVD players, but to no avail. The green LED on the mother board is lit on.

Your power supply is fried. I had the same problem with my Bestec ATX 250 power supply. I fixed the problem by installing the StatTech model: ATXPOWER250. It was easy to install and works well. It is almost identical to the original but more quiet. I got it for $29 at MicroCenter.com. Also at online Newegg.com, Radioshack.com, Provantage.com, June 20,2009

Shut down the system, disconnect every thing you

can possibly disconnect.

Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds.

Reconnect A/C power and try to boot up.

If no change, open case, disconnect all cables to the CD/DVD and hard drives. Reconnect power

and try to turn on again.

If still no go, remove all expansion cards (modem, NIC, video, etc.

Remove and reseat the RAM. If you get no power, remove the RAM and reconnect power to see if you get beeps from the system.

Let me know if you need to go further than this.

I have an emachine t2885, when i hit the power button, i dont get any power to the computer, but the keyboard, speakers and monitor lights go on, but no power to the computer, help

I'm going to guess pwr supply 12 volts side. The 5 volts side lights up keyboard and mouse; both get replaced when they fix (replace) the power supply.

The hard drive and dvd player us the 12volts side.

Check 12 volt supply side if low disconnect hard drive check voltage again,, if 12 volts hard drive bad,,, if low disconnect dvd,,, if 12volts connect hard drive,,,if 12 volts dvd bad. of course this scenerio can go the opposite way. Do you know how to use a multimeter? Black box maintence is exciting.

Emachine wont start up

This is a DESKTOP machine, not a laptop. It has to be plugged into a wall outlet that has power, for the machine to run.

I have an E-Machines T2885 that has a green light on the motherboard I did try a different power supply this did not work.

Make sure that the connector from the power supply and the mother board is properly plugged in. Also make sure that the voltage selector of the power supply at the back is correct. Try reseating the memory module, or replacing them with a known good one.

CASE DISASSEMBLY

first unscrew the cover of the computer, then
i suggest you take out all the connectors, so that you can dettach the power supply easily.remove the screws at the back of the power supply, which is in the back panel of the cpu chassis.
unplug the 24 or 20 pin connector from the cpu and all the power cords that supply the peripherals, take out the power supply and replace with a new one.
Plug the screws, plug the 20 or 24 pin power connector into your motherboard, and supply devices like your hard disk, cd rom by plugging in the power cords.
note, if your computer has a 4pin connector, make sure that you plug it in.

Heres a video tutorial on the step by step process.
