My HP pavilion a620n won't power back on when I push button on the front, there is a little green light on the back that went off when I unplugged everything attached to the back. Could this be a bad on off switch? Just turned it off while on vacation and now it won't turn back on.

It could be a faulty switch or the bad lead connections

test all power and data leads that attach to your hard drive IDE SATA

MOTHERBOARD TO THE HARD DRIVE make sure they have secure dust free connections and are not faulty if its a flat ribbon 40pin ide

this will be the first to fail

make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure dust free connections

a computer needs power and data to travel through every working device and continue its cycle and have a finishing point so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error

make sure the CPU has a secure dust free seating with thermal paste

make sure your ram modules are securely seated with no dust in the sockets also the Cmos battery has charge with no dust in the socket
on some motherboards cmos batteries are soldered in

hope this helps

Your power supply is bad--you will need to replace. I suggest looking at tigerdiect for a replacement.

Hp desktop blinking green light won't come on

mine does that when it's in stand-by mode. I just push the power button and it comes on....

Assuming you've already tried that....push and hold the power-button down for 5 seconds and the power SHOULD go out. *IF* it does not, then disconnect the power cord in the back for 1min....then reconnect and try to boot. If it *DOES*, then do the same...unplug the power cord for 1min and reconnect and boot.

Power button

You will probably have to remove the front panel and pop the button back out from inside. Sometimes it is caused by dirt or something sticky on someone's finger making the button stick. Try carefully cleaning around the power switch with a Q-Tip and some rubbing alcohol.
