I have an emachine t5026 that won't turn on. It sounds like a car tying to start and the lights on the front flash as does the light on the mouse but it won't start.
There can be two problems with your PC. either the power supply is faulty which is highly probable, and the other is that your Motherboard maybe faulty or both things are faulty. Try replacing the Power supply first. It should solve your problem.

This sounds like a textbook power/motherboard problem. Most likely your power supply is defective and it damaged your motherboard.
eMachines
(and gateway) have a long history of using Bestec Power Supplies
(recognizable for their bright yellow warning label). These are highly
defective and can result in the frying of your motherboard and/or processor.
I
would recommend checking what kind of power supply you have. If it is a
Bestec, it is most likely defective (or will become defective soon).
Based solely on that, I would replace it. In addition, it may have
already damaged your processor (causing it to get too hot easily) or
your motherboard. Its rough, but better you fix it now, as opposed to replacing the
motherboard or processor, just to have the power supply fry the new one
(the Bestec PSUs still look like they function when they have failed,
but send completely unreliable volts to your board).
If you need
assistance finding new parts, I can direct you to cost effective alternatives.

I just had the same problem. Try replacing the battery on the motherboard, that seems to have fixed mine. The number on the battery is CR 2032.
