Computer power button

My son literally kick-started the computer. Guess what? The power button [very large] won't work now. Any suggestions for fixing the computer [I'll handle the kid].

    Thanks. I gather by "conductable" you mean touching?? Not sure--I'm really not mechanical at all.

How about the start solinoid? Try jumping the large terminals with a large screw driver and see if it turns over if so make sure there is 12 volts on the coil of the soinoid when you turn the key, if so replace the solinoid.

Take it to the dealer and have them fix it....the warranty should cover the kickstarting and other issues. If you're in the US, I'd file a complaint w/the Husky distributor (not the dealer) and tell them it needs fixed or replaced - be 'nice' but 'firm'...yelling won't usually help!

The power button light on my dell pc is

You can install the power supply from another computer provided the wattage is equal to or greater than the original one.
The only problem you may have is the physical size og the power supply. The desktop computer power supply is usually larger in size to the smaller compact computers. You won't know until you remove the power supplies from both computers. You can also purchase power supplies from computer repair shops or on the Internet.

Y acer 3100 series won't start

Hello,

first, check your power adapter. Confirm if it is working. If the adapter is working, it means your acer has developed a power fault.

I would suggest you take it to a technician because it is a bit technical to fix laptop power faults.

Good luck.

Its frozen i guess the curser is not moving how do i fix the problem

Start by reseting it, hold down the "Menu" button and middle button for about 7-8 seconds. This will most likely work, if it doesn't, try restoring it. Do this by first plugging your iPod into your computer and starting iTunes. Then select your iPod in the list to the left, now click the "Restore" button located under the large picture of your iPod model. Restoring will probably take a little while, maybe 10-15 minutes.
Hope this helps!

CRT Monitor-Compaq presario VM700

Hi Snandy, I absolutely despise monitor and computer sleep or hibernation modes. Before I started routinely disabling this on all the computers I supported my users were always having problems no matter how computer literate they were. I know this sounds simplistic and you may have already done it but have you just unplugged the monitor? If that doesn?t work maybe the PC itself has gone to sleep as well. Try moving the mouse, hitting a keyboard key. If that doesn?t work try pushing the power button on the computer to turn it on. If all else fails pull the power plug on the computer itself, plug back in and it should start up. I would suggest disabling all of this via Windows Power settings in the control panel. Let us know if you have any other questions and again please don?t forget to rate the post.
