The computer starts but won't boot up all the way.
When I turn the power strip on that the compter and all its attachments are plugged into. The computer comes on automatically without me having to push the button on the eMachine T6520. But it does not boot up all the way. There is only the big "E" on the monotor, and the computer will not do anything. The keyboard does not come on, nor the speakers. The fans in the computer are all 3 running, but the mouse does not work. The little amber light that usually blinks when there is any activity going on is not on at all.
I took out the power pack to measure it to order another one, and while I had it out I hit it a few times and put it back in the computer, and turned on the computer and it booted up this time, and everything was normal.
I ran AVG to scan for viruses that may have caused the crash, but no viruses were found.
I am so glad I got it back up again. I will be ordering a new power pack and a new hard drive to have as an extra to back up everything.

Unplug the computer, Hold down the power button for 5 seconds. Plug the computer in. Power on the computer. Call, text or email Shane 801.554.4142 / [email protected]
Check the source of power to your computer. Your computer should be plugged into a protection strip. Make sure that the protection strip reset button is reset. If that is ok, check the circuit breakers in the fuse box.
if your computer came with a motherboard disc the sound drivers could be on it click start control panel administrive tools computer management device manager scroll to sound,video and game controllers you might see a yellow question mark? Right click to reinstall drivers click start control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers make sure you have selected the (((appropriate speakers))) also audio you will find 3 drop down lists make sure you have the correct settingsthere also click start control panel sounds and audio devices select advanced there might be a tick in the mute box untick it click start control panel sounds and audio devices you can adjust the volume there also select speaker volume you can change your settings there you can also tick in the box place icon in taskbar: if his does not fix the problem
click start control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers select the appropriate speakers from the drop down list or navigate to the device manager scroll to system devices + to expand,system speaker right click properties then select use this device (enable) also you might check the speakers plug/outlet is usually at the back of the computer you will have to open up the computer to check the lead attached to the rear of the input plug make sure the connection is good try cleaning your computer of dust using a fine air blower from a compressor making VERY sure that there is no MOISTURE in the air line specifically around the sound card and the CPU central processing unit dust causes static to build up in a computer hope this helps
I'm assuming you mean the bios password. Turn off the computer. Remove the power supply. Remove the battery. Remove the CMOS battery. Hold the power button for 10 sec to drain residual charge. Plug the computer in and boot. The password should be disabled.
Above is the link to set the jumper on the 40GB to Slave.
Also, before it boots, try to get into the BIOS setting and make sure your compter can see both drives. If not, double check jumper settings for both drives. Turn off compter and change settings.
When computer can see both drives in BIOS, save it and let the compter continue to boot.
Your computer power button may not be working, or the CPU may be bad and it can also be the motherboard is faulty.You need a new case or fix the power button or try another CPU in the computer or replace the motherboard.
Hi there. Remove the battery and try it on AC power only, if it boots up turn it back off and put the battery back in again and power it up again, if it boots up, the cause will have a small surge from the power strip caused by the thunder storm.
Well since he pulled the plug you may want to check all the connections on the back of the computer from the monitor , he may have knocked something out a bit causing your monitor not to work....also check the connections on the back of the monitor....
Will this wipe out everything on my hard drive? My photos? My music?
