Emach-etower 633id--turn on power light blinks w/ clicking sound. have found it to be sys speaker. motherboard bad or what?

Sorry, but the specs for the PC noted just won't support today's media rich, robust internet, and not to mentions games. Any hardware upgrades will eventually lead to a new system.

Download this software and it should give you information on where to get the driver you are requesting. Initially ur speakers are using an integrated sound card which is found on the motherboard and you need to know what kind of sound card it is to download the driver to make your speakers work.

First take the battery out and disconnect all the cables from the sys and remove any accesories connect and press and hold the power button for 30 to 40 seconds. Insert the battery and power cord and try turning the sys on and keep tapping the F10 key to go to the BIOS screen. If the system boots to the BIOS screen than hit the F9 key to set BIOS defaults and turn on the sys, if the sys doesnt turn on than disconnect everything along with the battery. You will have to open the back of the sys and take the RAM and harddrive out and reinsert them back into the sys and than try to turn on the sys after the RAM and HDD is put back. If this time the sys doesnt turn on than the motherboard has gone bad, you will have to get it repaired.

buy or download Passware. It can retrieve passwords and make bootable disk to reset the admin password

Sounds like the power supply or the motherboard. If you have another computer available, you can test the power supply. Just "borrow" the power supply from the other computer. If it still won't come on, then the motherboard might be bad and you'll need replacement.

If you swap the power supply and the motherboard is bad, you will not hurt the working power supply. The motherboard is already dead and won't feed back to the working power supply.

Also, if you have flashed your BIOS recently and it has not completed successfully, you might have a dead motherboard and you will need to replace it. You would know if you flashed or updated your BIOS chip.

Hope this helps!

YOUR MOTHERBOARD PROBLABLY IS GONE YOU GOING NEED TO REPLACED

sounds like you have a bad connection. what that is, is that your page is timing out. make sure all your cables are pluged in securely and one more thing to help is a program called "CCleaner" it cleans registry errors and cleans your internet cache. cache build up realy slows down your web browsing.

Hi,
Usually the power on button only has two wires. Then you have HDD led leads, reset leads, power led leads etc. These are all separate wires that fit onto separate pins in the Jpanel1 (front panel header).

Could be that the really old emachines grouped all these wires and made them into a plug to fit their own style motherboards.

If this is the case then that connector would not be on your newer motherboard, and it would have that Jpanel1 instead.

Hope this helps as I'm not very familiar with the old emachines.

Normally upgrading bios does not require flashing the bios. But in order to find out the max amount you can upgrade too requires some info off the motherboard. You need to get the model number off the board to look up the info
