One morning my father went to turn on his W2047 emachine and it wouldn't power up. I installed a new power supply and it powers up but won't boot. The led light flickers yellow for a second then it doesn't do anything. I read that I should reset the CMOS jumpers, but I'm not sure how that is done.
Here is a link to a picture of what I believe are the jumpers, near a cmos battery. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h197/jjfreebird59/43630044.jpg
HELP ME!
There are 2 ways to reset your cmos i believe one is with the jumpers and the other is to take off the battery if possible for 30 seconds and then placing it back in properly. Using jumpers to reset your CMOS the manual for the motherboard should tell you where the CMOS jumper pins are, the jumper is the plastic rectangular looking thing that covers the pins and there should be a total of 3 pins by themselves. All your doing is taking off the jumper from the pins it was on and moving it over 1 pin for 30 seconds and then moving it back to the original pins it was on and the CMOS should be reset. If this doesn't work it might be a Hardware issue, Goodluck.

Remove the RAM and install it again and restart.....it will work if still not work then change remove RAM again and start your machine..it will give beep sound...if it will not give beep sound then understand your machine's mother board is faulty......
Bottom line: Either your power supply or (hopefully not) the mother board has gone bad.
Replace power supply (remove old one), take to local independent computer shop, ask them for new unit. Should be around $50.00. - no more. After reinstall, if still no fans, boot, etc. Replace motherboard or buy a new machine. MB's installed probably will run you around $250.00-ish.
Good luck.
Are you attaching them properly
if so then it is something other then power supply
something has caused both power supplies to blow
have you installed anything in the first emachine you talk about
You can test the power button. Remove the wires from the power on pins on the motherboard. Momentarily jump the two pins with a small screwdriver. If the computer starts the power button is bad. If it still doesn't start then something else is wrong. Did you test the memory? Also do all of the fans work, especially the CPU fan? It can't hurt to test with the other PSU. You know the HDD is good. Test one piece of hardware at a time and hopefully you will find the problem.
Psu is a Power Supply issue but the black screen with a blinking white line is not.
The blinking white line can mean there is no instructions to tell the Computer to boot up. Which could be possibly the system battery (cmos) or Hard Drive.
I would narrow those 3 things down first.
it does sound like a power supply. you can pick one up for around 80 bucks retail. they aren't that hard to install. 2 plugs on the mobo and one for each drive you have installed. all you do is unscrew the current power supply (4 screws on the back), then unplug all wires connecting the power supply to the components. then take out the old power supply and work in reverse with the new power supply. if the computer doesn't work after that, it is possible that you need a new mother board. in that case, personally i would return the power supply and start looking for another computer. but hopefully it is just the power supply.
