emachines EZ1601 How to Remove HDD

When Windows is updating you basically need to wait for it to finish before you power down or you will find yourself in that endless loop of updating. You may need to reboot into safe mode by pressing F8 as windows is staring up, then let it run updates and again reboot.

You probably have a bad power supply. An easy way to tell is if you plug another device (any electrical device will do) into your same power source (a power strip for instance) and if you have power to that device, you need a power supply. A decent repair place will charge $70 or so

Unless you do this for a living, you should let a pro do it.

go to www.microsoft.com and see the technical specification test for to see if your equipment has the software +hardware availaable for to maintain the instalation for w. 7God bless you

All-In-One desktop computer disassembly isn't usually posted. Technology is still new enough, and required skills needed, dissuade the imparting of this information.Plus eMachines is about worthless for support info anyway, lol!A) Construction, and design of the machine dictate a laptop type of environment.All the hardware components are crammed into one tiny box, with very little cooling inside, and the monitor is attached.

One way is to mount it in another computer as a secondary drive and format it there (might be easier).

have you tried plugging the screen into another PC? Is the power etc connected and not loose? Is there a power light on the front? If you can connect remotely try changing the resolution to something lower incase the screen cannot handle high res

Hi

Start by checking what EMachines sat is the maximum RAM and RAM Clockspeed the motherboard can support (as it's an XP machine, I suspect it may be 2Gb max). Then make sure you buy 1 stck of the correct RAM (there seems to only be 1 RAM slot).

Disconnect from mains power.

LCD Monitors, TVs and All-in-One PCs have a dangerous internal working environment, containing several Capacitors that store a gigh charge capable of seriously injuring or even killing an inexperienced repairer.

If, for economic or educational purposes, you are determined to do the repair this yourself, you need a large sheet of paper on which to sketch a screw location diagram of the rear of the LCD Panel.

The first step is to remove the rear cover pf the LCD Panel, often the stand will also have to be removed as well. This is almost always not straightforward. (see review on: http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/emachines-ez1601-01/4505-3118_7-33721162.html)

Use the diagram to intelligently map the locations of the different types an sizes of srew you come accross while opening the rear cover.

Be very careful to remove every retaining screw before trying to lift the cover off (there are often several hidden srews and it is easy to miss one and snap off part of the cover or the frame it connects to). Do not use force - if the cover will not lift off easily, look for more retaining screws.

Once the cover is off, you are looking for laptop type RAM Memory Modules, with parrallel side clips that, when pulled outwards with the fingernails of both thumbs allow each Memoey Module to spring up at an angle, enabling to slide it out of its socket.

To replace the memory slide each new module in the correct orientation (there is a notch that only permits the corect orientation) until it is fully docked in the socket. Then press down until the two side clips catch and lock into place.

Now place the cover open face up on a desk or table and carefully place the LCD panel onto the cover, before connecting, powering up and testing the computer with its new RAM, before reassembling it.

Hope this helps.

Go to the Crucial site. They make memory and their site will scan your PC, then tell you how much memory it will take.
From there, it will also give you an idea of how to open your PC to install the new or additional memory.

Download the sound card drivers at the eMachine website for this model of computer. Then install.

Your CDrom/DVD will have a very small hole at the front of the panel which will allow you to insert a paper clip into it. This is the emergency manual eject button. Make sure your PC is powered down or the disc may come flying out. Simply push a straightened paper clip in the hole.

Do a complete re-install from the CD.

Hi! Please try this. Remove the battery of the pc and unplug the pc from power source then press hold the power button for 10secs. this should drain excess power and will reset the system. Put the battery in again then turn on the pc and see how it goes. You should to this as a first course of action and please write back on the progress. Hope this helps and have a good one!

Having setup several POs terminals they all seem to support the default printer attached to the PC I set up a couple with epson 40 line dot matrix printers and monarch thermal printers as well as secondry laser printers and full tracking dot matrix for reports all conected to the same terminal

Hello You may visit a computer tech to clean the cooling fan,it needs to be clean to avoid overheating or damaging your motherboard..

Most likely. The power supply will fit, but Dell machines tend to be skimpy on the extra connectors as they are custom-built. The Video card is PCIe 3.0 standard. I could not get spcifics on your manboard, but I'm fairly certain that it is not up to the 3.0 level. PCIe is backward compatible, however. Just don't expect 3.0 level performance if you mainboard only supports the 1.1 standard. Basically you are racing the Ferrari in your driveway.
