GENERALLY WIRE LESS ETHERNEET DOES NOT ASSEMBLE TOWER CABINET .SO YOU SHOULD BETTER TO PURCHASE .

Here's the link on how to install your power supply with pictures: http://compreviews.about.com/od/tutorials/ss/DIYPSU.htm

There's a lot of reason why your computer is not turning on. If you said that when you trying to turn on your computer it sound beep or clicking. Try to feel or look at the back of your system unit if your power supply fan turning. If it's turning there is no problem with your power supply unless you test it with multitester. If no display but your computer is on, it means that you have to check your memory or video card try cleaning pin of your memory and video card. First you have to electro static discharge by holding the chasis of your computer, because the computers component is very sensitive to electro static. Good Luck

There's an image (circled in red) that shows where I believe these plugs go. I believe they are either 2 or 4 pronged. and both are probably rated the same so I don't think there's much danger in guessing.
Good luck

Cheers. Thank You.

Try to change the brightness and contrast settings from the menu button below or on the side of Computer monitor screen

1) Are the Logitech keyboard, and mouse USB? Do they have a USB connector on the end of their cables?

If you use a PS/2 connector adapter, you'll be able to workaround this problem, and use System Restore.

Example:

http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=104&sku=35700

Then try to use the System Restore disks again.

Or borrow a keyboard and mouse that use a PS/2 connector, and try to use the System Restore disk/s again.

2) Under the B in Back, and under the N in Next, see if there is an underline. ( _ )
If so you can press the b key, and the Enter key to use Back.
Same for Next. Press the n key, and Enter key.

How to Reboot an eMachines PC

If you are able to load windows:-

Note:Before performing system recovery try to back up the important data like pictures and files.

Instructions

Step 1

Click the "Start" button on the Windows desktop. Check through the program list and hit the "Recovery Management" option
or
Click the "Start" button on the Windows desktop>>go to All programs>>Emachines>>Emachines Empowering technology>>Click on "Recovery Management/ & follow the onscreen instructions Click on Restore>>select factory default settings>>click on yes to follow the warning instructions

It will take 10 to 15 minutes to compleate the process

If you are unable to load windows

1)Turn off the computer/unplug all the external devices like Printers/Scanners/USB devices/Webcams etc...

The moment when you turn on the computer try to hit F11 on the keyboard>>it will give you the options just follow the onscreen instructions.

If F11 doesn't work try with Alt+F10

If this is a power on password it can be deleted. Power off the PC, Take off the side panel, locate the J1 jumper (It has three pins and is connected across 1&2). It is usually near the battery. This is silver and is about 3/4 inch in diameter. Take the jumer off 1&2, put it across 2&3, wait 1 minute and put it back. Replace panel and power up. NO password!

I am going to assume you are running Vista. Add/Remove can be found by clicking Start >> Control Panel >> Programs >> Uninstall A Program.

reformat the hard drive, which means putting in the operating system CD you have in and re-install it

Glenn, Please follow the link below to install the video card.
Installing Devices on PCs and Laptops

You will have to repair your operating system or do a complete system recovery.

Try hitting ALT+F10 at startup. I believe that is Acer's recovery key sequence. Let me know if you have continued problems.

Please reboot pressing F8 to access safe mode. once there see below

You may be a victim of spyware/maleware infections. You will need to have your system cleaned. This should help resolve your issue.

I would recommend trying CCleaner first to see if this helps you. Please keep in mind this will not rid your system of everything just keep you a float and offer you a fighting chance.

Please keep me posted and updated on your issue. I am here for you and will see your issues out till resolved.

Have a great and wonderful day :)
