Top 20 eMachines W3507 PC Desktop - Page 4 Questions & Answers

I would look inside at the power supply IF you can get to that for puffed up caps---if found you can either replace them (seen some with several bad) or look for a generic replacement power supply.Usually here it will begin by being hard to turn on at first but once on will operate--sooner or later it will not come on at all.

then the dvd player needs to be replaced with a new one

Thirteen quick beeps at startup on an eMachines E520 usually indicate a problem with the laptop's RAM (Random Access Memory). This could mean that the RAM is not properly seated in its slot, or it could be a sign of a faulty RAM module.

Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve this issue:

Turn off the laptop and disconnect it from the power source.
Remove the battery from the laptop.
Locate the RAM compartment on the bottom of the laptop.
Check to make sure that the RAM module is seated properly in its slot. You may need to remove and reinsert the RAM module to ensure a proper connection.
Replace the battery and turn on the laptop.
If the problem persists, try removing the RAM module and testing it in a different laptop or using a different RAM module in the eMachines E520 to determine if the problem is with the RAM module itself or with the laptop's RAM slot.
If none of these steps solve the problem, it may be necessary to contact a computer technician for further assistance..

1. Boot the computer to the boot menu: To do this, restart the computer and press the appropriate key when prompted to enter the boot menu. On most eMachines computers, this is the "F12" key.
2. Select the CD/DVD drive as the boot device: Use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press the "Enter" key to boot from it.
3. Insert the Windows ME boot disk: Insert the boot disk into the CD/DVD drive and restart the computer.
4. Choose the "Start Computer with CD-ROM support" option: When prompted, choose the "Start Computer with CD-ROM support" option.
5. Run the Windows ME setup program: The setup program should start automatically. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Windows ME.
6. Format the hard drive: During the setup process, you will be prompted to format the hard drive. Choose the "Full" format option to erase all existing data and perform a complete factory reset.
7. Install Windows ME: Continue to follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation of Windows ME.

After the installation is complete, the computer should be in a factory reset state and you can begin setting it up as a new system. Please note that resetting your computer to the factory settings will erase all personal data and installed programs, so be sure to back up any important data before proceeding with the reset.

Check the hdd is setup correctly and set as first boot device. Ensure there is no external drive/usb installed.

microsoft has a license type called OEM which detects the computer that it is installed on and some computers have the licence key stored in the bios of the computer. So when you grab the old hard drive and put it in the next computer Windows will detect you changed computers and not run as per OEM licensing rules that it runs on only the original purchased computer. You might be able to run the drive as a secondary drive but you would need to install a new windows operating system and hard drive. And then use a partioning program to make the secondary drive not an active drive. also you new machine most likely has a different type of bios called EFI and you would have to change its settings to run AMI Bios but I do not think that is your problem as I think it is OEM but it might be worth investigating if you can run a legacy bios in the bios settings.

hello and good morning. emachines are old and now owned by acer.com (gateway,etc) they OWN many old names. you are running XP right? the last man on earth to do so? XP is a virus magnet and doomed, it is time to upgrade. this PC is 2007 made. so is 12 years old, today.. the RTC coin cell battery will be no good now, replace it for $2 then reset BIOS inside BIOS screen " set default" then test the HDD, to be sure it is ok, if not? then reloading any OS of any kinds is not going to work with any bad HDD. Last, reload a new OS. there are the steps. and can be expensive, spent on any PC this old with zero street value. ($0 if broken a it is)

Hi there. If your desktop has been overheating for any reason you will need to look at buying a new processor (cpu), power supply (if wires have been damaged from heat or voltage spike), or possibly a new motherboard. It would be advisable to have a computer shop look at the internal components of your desktop. Heat or a surge in power can damage the computer hardware. Good luck!

NO OS told, at all, we can not guess OS. came with windows 7 , is it still? if upgraded ports die. GL40 chip set is frozen at w7 max. forever. 2006 CPU , is not supported above w7 as Intel stated. endless. is it windows type winver in run box or control panel + system. do all usb ports work with a usb mouse , or keyboard or USB thumb driver? if not the USB ports are dead. if buying usb head phone ask them for w7 support, as many ended that now. if not running w7, (not told) then your ports are dead. or the phones do not support the unstated OS. see how hard I worked top answer , lacking NO OS told? drivers must match the OS and be available .

You'll have to unsolder the entire battery holder and replace it with a new one. Not suggesting you try it unless you have the proper desoldering equipment. Otherwise, damage to the motherboard will result
