Question about Gateway Profile 3 PC Desktop

Power on problem

I have just acquired a Profile 3 that was functioning a few months ago but now will not power on. The green light on the PS brick is on when plugged into the wall but goes out as soon as I plug it into the computer. Has anybody seen this symptom before? I have lots of experience with computers and hardware but am new to this Profile configuration. Any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks gatormike

This is not a laptop and therefore requires the brick PS in order to work. The Profile 3 has the motherboard integrated into the module with the display and removeable drives so ther is no way to just bypass the power supply brick. thanks

Right now it sounds like a short in the pc. try bypassing the ps brick to narrow down the culprit. Marcel

Sounds like the dreaded power supply is going out, I repaired one 3 months ago with a bad power supply. These units are notorious for power supply failures. Replacement power supplies are available from Shopjimmy.com, or ebay.com, just to name a few. Personally I would go with Shopjimmy.com, they back their parts up with 6 month warranties. You never know what you are getting on Ebay.

OK...Did you replace the lamp with a Sony original? If you did, then carefully check that the door is closed properly.

I have a xbox console and 3 month ago used to work but now it does not and even it does not start on .i donot know if it is the power cord or what.

Check the colored light on the power brick. It should be orange when the xbox is off and green when it's on. If the light doesn't light up then you have a bad power brick.

I bought a Dymo label printer several months ago and just attempted to set it up for use. The ac adapter shows a blinking green light, however there is no light on the printer, and it does not appear that...

If you only purchased it a few months ago then why not return it...? They generally come with 3 year warranties, so unless you bought it 2nd hand you should be fine...

Profile 3 won't power up, green light on power brick blinks when connected, green light steady when disconnect from computer. Is the problem in the power brick or the computer itself? Thank you.

You can daignose if the problem is with power brick or computer itself, by connecting any other electorinc device from power brick. See if the green light continue to blink. Further there is a chart given on the power brick, which indicates which lights should be ON for normal state. You can also try replacing the phuse on power brick, if faulty.

Hi internet. I am on Windows 10 version 1903 and I decided to install TOCA Race Driver 3 onto my PC. Upon installation, I clicked on the game, and it didn't initially load, so I started it as an administrator. Then I got a yes/no pop up from the game stating my computer needed to restart. After clicking yes, my PC got stuck in an endless cycle of Automatic Repair, so I disabled Automatic Repair via command prompt. Then when I restarted, it said that the driver verification (or something like that) of sfsync03.sys failed, so I then went back into command prompt, and I tried to locate and delete that file, only to see that it was not present in my x:\windows\system32\drivers folder (the drive is x because I am doing this through Windows 10's built-in recovery tool). So now I've started chkdsk /r, but I'm stumped and I need access to my computer. Please, kind internet passerby, do help me! Thank you, Orange.
