My hp elite won't turn on. it was running fine, and I left home for an hour, came back and it was off and wouldn't start. it's only 3 years old. The little green light on the back stays lit for awhile after plugged in and after unplugged. I don't know what the problem is i'm devastated..I've been told it could be the power supply. I hate to go spend a lot of moneyt have it tested and to find it's dead for good. Is there possibly anyway to get it running again?

The green power light will stay on after it is unplugged, as there is still residual power in the unit. The symptoms you describe point to blown main capacitors in the PSU, the only way to check is by fitting a new PSU (recommend one of 700 watts minimum). Not very expensive and as long as you are careful, easy to fit

Next time you jump start it make sure the car is off. I was told if its running too much charge will go to your bike. (assuming the car was on)

Sounds like the alternator is going out the slow way.
Youre kinda lucky because almoat all alternators go out without warning.
Most Autozone shops or places like it will run a test for free.
Good luck,Gary

This problem could be caused by a bad motor run capacitor. Please see our If your motor capacitor is not the problem, then more than likely you need a new motor.

Sounds like the fuel pump has an issue with a safety on the pump itself.
