And we were following Anti-Static Procedures, when removing said ram memory?
If not you may be looking at using that motherboard for a Frisbee.

(Cleaned the gold plated contact pins with a pencil eraser? Just curious)

The two main causes of desktop computer failure is;
1) Computer is dirty inside
2) Power Supply failure

Someone who would have removed the Ram Memory, and reinstalled; I'm sure would have the inside of the computer cleaned out.

Got multimeter? (Got milk? Get it?................oh nevermind)

Test the 3 main voltage power rails;
3.3 Volts (DC)
5 Volts (DC)
12 Volts (DC)

(An inexpensive multimeter around here, ('States'), sells for $5 to $12. I've seen them on checkout aisle racks at major discount stores. Auto parts stores have them, but usually more expensive)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_power_supply#Wiring_diagrams

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atxmain24

('member; all Orange wires are 3.3 Volts, Red wires are 5 Volts, Yellow wires are 12 Volts, Black wires are Ground wires; and the cow jumped over the moon.




NO! You gonna' believe that last one?

Sheesh! You're so gullible.


It took the SHUTTLE )

Two D cell flashlight batteries produce 3 Volts DC.
The dangerous AC voltage, is kept within the metal case of the Power Supply.

No? Not feasible for you?

Use a KNOWN to be good, Compatible power supply for a test unit.

(I'm gonna' borrow the Power Supply, out of your computer for a test unit, honey.
I'll put it right back.
What? You'll break my fingers?)

Post back in a Comment with the results.

Regards,
joecoolvette

Acer desktop 5100 has power but wont boot up

The problem maybe the RAM, it could be faulty or just needs reseating to make proper electrical contact.
Reseat the RAM and then boot up your laptop. If it still does not boot up then remove the RAM module/s and take them to your friendly computer repair shop and get them to test the RAM for you. Just like you sometimes need a mechanic to repair your car, sometimes you do need a technician to diagnose and identify the fault or faults on your computer. Not only does a good service technican have the experience to deal with this type of problem, they also have the equipment that allows them to look at things the average computer user can't see, and he has a collection of replacement parts that can be used to quickly test individual components on your computer.

I have an acer aspire 5100 with a black screen, won't boot and wont beep also, the fan run the system seems to be running i tried changing the hard drive i tried to clean the ram and place them back again...

if you have power it's not the power supply. It sound like the screen maybe gone on your laptop. Have tried hooking up a monitor to your laptop to see if the screen will come up?

Acer aspire L320 wont boot up can hear drive running I'm fixing this L320 for someone and it also has the same problems as above, i've took the system apart, changed the memory, put the hdd into my own...

When you say wont boot is it getting and video ouput at all? I'll assume its not. Check all your connections. One time i didnt have a SATA cable fully seated, it was just at the slightest angle creating a short and freaking the whole computer out (it was my dvd drive too!). Check all the cables and ram is fully seated as well as the CPU. Only try to boot with one ram stick at a time, possible dead ram stick too. IF its a cheapy motherboard best to just replace it.
