HP Media Center Power Up Problem

Hi Experts,

I have HP Mediacenter m8100y. While moving my computer when it was on, the computer turn off. Since then it does not power up. When I turn on the computer, the power unit light turn on green and then after 3 sec it turn off and never come back up again. I open the case and see the behavior inside. When I turn on, the cpu fan turn little bit on and then turn off with the power unit green light turn off.

I have try disconnecting all the power on media bay, hard disk, memory, fan power etc one by one and same issue.

I have disconnected power cable from the pc board (mother board) then trun it on; after that the green light turn on. But cannot do anything without power board. I have notice the power unit fan was not on, even though the Green light is on.

Finally, I also taking the pc board battery off and put it back after 30 min or so. Now the power unit green light on all the time but the computer does not boot.

Is my power unit broke or mother board or memory. Can someone help?

Replace the power supply-from a computer store, should be no more than 30 dollars

Picture of hp m8100y mother board sata and cd rom cable

I have also attached an image of both ends of a SATA data cable (right angled at one end, straight and all types available) . SATA cables are standard, there isn't a special one for any particular device or motherboard.

Need to set my margins on the computer. im not getting everything printed out on the right side.

That is a print option. Check while while printing. It does not matter from where, Office, web, or... The setting location will vary, and use the print preview

Why does my hp mediacenter 864n keeps powering off

It may be your memory sticks/cards. I had that problem and took it to the shop and all they did was move the memory sticks down 1 slot. the 1st slot was bad. This will take some detail of removing the skins on the desktop.
Hope this helps.

Hp 7463 xp media center will not see hp thumb drives of 4 or 8g's. Even tried 2 different powered usb hubs. Only see error 22.

Hi turn off the computer and unplug the power cord for 2 minutes. Then replug it and start up the computer. That should solve it. If it doesn't then you have a software issue most likely a virus.

Hp media center power

hi friends, unpluug the power chord from the wall jack after that press and hold the power button in the front for about 15 seconds, connect the chord back in and try it. if it does the same then look at the rear side of the cpu box (where the power chord goes in and look for a small fan inside the power supply box, it has to be spinning). if not then the power supply (smps) has goen bad. now if the fan is sipnning try disconnecting all the extra periferals eg printer and stuff, still nogo then try opening the cpu box (reffer owners manual). take the RAM out and try to power up the system, if it starts beeping like beep ...beep... peeeep... then turn it off put the ram sticks back in and it should work fine...
NB:-for the owners manual check this out: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&product=470506&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN

Media Center file types

Try to rename one of the pictures to lower case .jpg. Normally this isn't an issue, since Windows is not case sensitive on file names. Somewhere along the way you may have changed the association.

Another thing to try is to right click on a JPG file and select Open With / Choose Program. Select the picture viewer of your choice and select Always Use. That should set the association permanently.
