No power to new PC? Help a newbie. Please!

[davepegg10]

Hi,

I bought this PC from microdirect.co.uk,

http://www.microdirect.co.uk/productinfo.aspx?ProductID=7640,

Once I recieved it, I started it up and installed XP and everything worked fine. I then turned it off and didn't use it for about a month as I had no available monitor.

I went to turn it on yesterday for the first time since, only to find it wouldn't turn on. Not even a blip. I was using all the leads from my old PC, which still works perfectly, so I don't understand why the new one doesn't.

I opened it up and the inside LED light on the motherboard is still on whilst the power is on, it's just that it won't start up.

What could the reason for this be? ANy ideas?

I appreciate the help.

If the fans do not run and the drives do not come to life when you press the power-on button, then make sure the power-on button's leads are securely attached to the MB terminals.

If they're ok, then remove the power-on button's leads from the MB, and short the MB terminals with a screwdriver.
If that works, then the power-on button assembly is the cause.
Check its wires, and tape any bare spots.
If that does not work or the wires are not bare, then replace the power-on button assembly under warranty.

If no luck with the above, then have the system repaired or replaced under warranty.
