1. The emachines W3503 has an integrated ATI Radeon™ X300 based graphics card. It has also a PCI Express (PCIe x16) slot available.

2. The emachines W3052 has a NVIDIA® GeForce®4™ MX graphics card. I'm not sure whether it is integrated or not, but I'm sure that if it is not, it will be an AGP graphics card. Since The emachines W3503 has a PCI Express (PCIe x16) slot available for installing a graphics card, the swapping of graphics cards between the 2 machines is not possible since they support different types of graphics cards.

The video card is directly where the monitor plugs in. The W3503 has the video card integrated onto the motherboard, so there will be swapping with that machine.

The W3502 is the same machine with just a slightly slower processor.

Emachines W3052 Gets stuck on logo screen when starting up.

My computer does a similar thing, the issue with mine is the mother board which requires everything to be at a certain temperature. Let it run on the start screen for a couple minutes and hit the reset button. If it doesn't boot up you're going to have to get more involved with your PC. Turn off the power, unplug the cord from your power supply, open the case, look for the battery and the JP8 (CLRTC) jumper. Move the jumper from pins 1-2 over to 2-3, wait 30 seconds, and move the jumper back. Close the case, plug in the power cord, turn on your machine, and boot it up. If it still fails to boot check that all cables are securely attached (inside and out), check that the RAM is securely seated, and check the CMOS battery to be sure it is not dead. Beyond this you're looking at a component failure and should contact a repair tech.

P.S. if you feel up to it and can't wait for service, pull the hard drive out of the first computer and use it in a different computer. Be sure to unplug the hard drive from the second computer.

Emachine monitor problem

Your monitor is probably OK, it is the computer that probably has the issue.
On a great number of e-machines that I have worked on this is caused by the following:
1) Failed power supply unit. Swap with another of equal or greater power. Caused by failed capacitors in the power supply.
2) Failed capacitors on the motherboard. Look at all of the cylinder looking things on the mother board. If ANY of them have a bulged/raised top or are leaking fluids then you have bad caps( capacitors) and the motherboard is bad. Caps can be replaced by an experienced person. Caps should be perfectly flat. I have had several e-machines in the shop with this same problem.
3) Failed video card.
4) Failed processor.

What is most likely happening is that the computer is not passing the POST (Power-On-Self-Test) and therefore does not get to putting the video output to the monitor. When the monitor gets nothing from the computer it will display the message you are seeing. In a majority of e-machines that I have seen it is caused by bad caps on mobo and PSU.

If the machine is out of warranty then open the case and look at your motherboard (mobo), you may need a flashlight. If you could respond back and let us know if you have done this and if you have no bad caps, then what are you getting from the computer:
Fan turns on, CD lights briefly, Hard drive is spinning, etc. Also listen for beeps.
