Power supply shot when 3 weeks on same surge prot. all other eq. ok

Yes. Otherwise it will not release power to the outlets.

I looked for the specific manual for your surge protector, but I was only able to find one for another Newpoint model (RX50TA). These are all pretty much the same from one brand or model to the next so the information should be sufficient to backup my assertion here. You will find a line on page 2 that states power will not be supplied to the outlets when the power to the surge protector is off. Surge protectors automatically turn off (or trip) to protect your equipment.

Newpoint RX50TA Operating Manual Page 2

Check your surge protector, it may have tripped due to a surge in power.

If you didn't have it on a surge protector you could have blown a capacitor in the power supply. In that case replacing those is pretty simple just 4 screws and paying attention to what and where you disconnect from the mother board

In most cases like this, if there are no lights on the back of the power supplies, (i assume there are 2, as I have a 2950 and it has 2) that they are dead, and need to be replaced. If you haven't tried it already try this: 1. Swap out power cords, try different ones. 2. Swap out surge protector if you are using one. 3. Switch wall outlets that the surge protector or power cord is plugged into. If none of that helps then you can safely assume the power supplies are dead. Did you have any power outage or surges lately that you know of?

Hello, I will try my best to help you, ok? I need to ask you a couple of questions so I can understand your situation more clearly ok?
1) Do you have your power cord plugged into a Power Strip or surge protector? If so, check and make sure that the switch is ON and/or the surge protector button has'nt been tripped.
2) Is there any sign of power to the Power Supply Box that your power cord is plugged into? (ie: led light, or sound of the fan inside of the Power Supply Box?)
3) Is the outlet that you are connected to live with power? (try plugging a lamp into the socket to make sure)

After you have ruled out the above possibilities, let me know, and we will go from there, ok?

Hi

Please try the monitor without the surge protector to ensure there are no isues with the protector

If the monitor comes on you know its the protector, if it still fails then i recommned the following

1) ensure the fuse in the plug is ok and not blown
2) Change the 3 pin power socket for another one


If after this all fails then for some reason something has blown in your monitor and you will need to book it in for further inspection

If this has been useful please leave positive feedback/vote/testimonial as this will help me greatly - Thank You again

Try unplugging the computer completely from the wall for 15 minutes. Plug it back in, and see if it will power on.

If it doesn't it's most likely a blown power supply, when the breaker tripped, everything on the circuit basically fed back into everything plugged in. This is something most computer power supplies do NOT like.
The good news is, a power supply is generally pretty cheap, you can get new power supplies atarting around 20 bucks, although decent quality ones are closer to 50 bucks. Bad news is, there is about a 1 in 20 chance the power supply took other parts with it.
Once you do get it running, or get another computer, make sure to get a surge protector strip and plug everything connected to the computer into the surge protector. A 15 dollar surge protector can save you 150 dollars in parts and labor. (or more)

you fried your power supply inside the computer. check all connections and try plugging directly to known good outlet first. but it sounds like a blown power supply

Lilyoungun8, you need to be a little more specific; Check these:

1. Is the power from the mains turned on?
2. Turn it off from the wall socket and push the power cable back in, it may be loose. Then try turning it on again.
3. Hopefully it is none of the below, but if none of the aboe 2 things work, it may be one of these in increasing order of importance:
3.a. Your power cable is faulty - you will need to replace it
3.b. Your PC power supply is shot - you will need to replace it
3.c. Your motherboard has died - you will either need to replace it or buy a new PC altogether.

Do let us know...

Make sure you have enough power (wall outlet, Surge Protector (MUST HAVE A GOOD ONE)
And Double Check that the Power Cable is 3-pronged, NOT one that someone pulled the ground pin off of!!! THATS BAD!!!

Or you just got a bad Power Cable,

Also Make sure you have a BIG power supply (I recommend at least 450 watt PS!

Check this all as if it was a checklist.....so far I believe your motherboard is just fine......the problem is somewhere between your Outlet, Power Cable, and Surge Protector (I really hope you are running it on one.....Never run any computer or Valuable components without one!)

I only mention that because some people don't realize the importance of surge protectors)

gargame,

good day, if you already replaced the fuse and still keeps on blowing it again. you still have a short circuit somewhere within the power supply area or board.try to check if there are any other blown parts or slightly expanded shape part specially for capacitors near the power supply area .

2) If you do have multi tester and have some basic knowledge with component checking try to check the polyswitch protector, this is connected parralel to AC supply right after the fuse before going to voltage rectifier diode.

3) if it doesn't have a polyswitch protector check the polarity of your rectifier diode, maybe 1 of this 4bridged diode is shorted.

cheers,
