Compaq SR2011WM The power button is just flashing. Computer will not come on?

If you just bought this computer not knowing about the password how can it already have your sole means of financial support on it?

Well, unplugging something (I'm not quite clear on what you unplugged), especially if it supplies power to the processor usually doesn't fix things. If you mean the plug that looks like http://www.pcguide.com/byop/diagrams/figure9.jpg then it helps supply power to the motherboard, and I'm not sure what unplugging it would fix but it is more likely a motherboard issue than a processor issue if unplugging it fixed the problem. Regardless because this is an older and off the shelf computer upgrading it will be difficult due to the fact that celeron's don't have the same socket type as newer processors. If it is a motherboard issue then you will need a new motherboard and a new processor for that motherboard. Essentially the easiest and most cost effective thing would be to get a new computer.

the psu is bad.
the test is easy , one jumper wire prove PSU bad.
if its fan is dead, (and all fans )

jump pins 16 to 17 (power on pin jumped to ground 17)
connector pulled, turns it on.

no prob

try to reset your bios.. remove your battery in the mother board and place it back

If he has a product key for the computer he can borrow an XP disc from a friend and reload it using his keyand it should be fine.
He should then create a restore disc and keep it.
