Emachines are prone to take the motherboard with the power pack when they go bad.
The are blogs on the wb for Emachines and every body states the same thing.. DON"T FIX IT REPLACE IT WITH A BETTER BRAND COMPUTER
I had one and did replace it. Emachines have no inline fuses to save the mother board as others do. That is one reason why they are so cheap to buy. Too many shortcuts in this brand of computer you see

short power switch pins on mother board, reset bios, short green wire to black wire on ATX connector with all drives etc.. power cables disconnected to test power supply. i suspect you have a dead motherboard.

this is common there is a small pin hole front left corner bend a paper clip straight and insert in the hole the door will open about 1 inch long to go in

Most likely. The power supply will fit, but Dell machines tend to be skimpy on the extra connectors as they are custom-built. The Video card is PCIe 3.0 standard. I could not get spcifics on your manboard, but I'm fairly certain that it is not up to the 3.0 level. PCIe is backward compatible, however. Just don't expect 3.0 level performance if you mainboard only supports the 1.1 standard. Basically you are racing the Ferrari in your driveway.

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.

Larry picks up a question from 2015 ;>) Larry Ng Feb 07, 2022 no PC model told hopeless If desktop, the jumper on the MOBO marked PW_CLR on most. Never laptops

device manager 1 of 10000 model ODD optical disk drives made, each drive made has LIMITS some only do CD ROMS BD is blue ray , FIY if missing or maked with red or yellow errors or shows up as unknown that all means DRIVER IS BAD , wrong or missiong NO PC Told so can not tell you how to fix that, lacking such a key fact . (but is at your oem makers PC support page under DRIVERS)

moved you out of monitors and into laptops, only forum. emachines full model not old like this example E525-901G1Mi windows 7 loaded day1.

• the switch is bad Lid close switch
• set wrong in power settings.
• or the driver is missing that makes this switch work.

so why not just assign the sleep mode, to auto sleep then on what does the power button do in settings, set to do nothing or set button to only sleep . (3 choices here) or let auto sleep do the work, set. set to say 5min idle. the switch is inside it deep and if you rip it out as you go there most noobs break 2 or 3 FFC cable jacks and now it is bricked and $300 mobo wrecked emachines or junk grade, made by Acer.com owned now and that maker does NOT have service manuals making service a royal Pain. best is work around the problem as I just told how. or ask any shop to fix it. they do know how.!!!

Larry has the answer. Larry Ng Feb 07, 2022 no reason stated, the OS reloaded, ?that? what does reset mean to you? and why.? (selling PC or PC infected?) what:"? ahhhh a Netbook sold new with XP or W7, lost the install media? page 22 in your manual shows that you must create recovery media day one, new. if not , it is GONE. https://www.emachines.com/ec/en/US/conte... ..
