Hi, First, check your power supply fuse for damage and switch the power to standard. Disconnect power supply output port and check your output voltage. If nothing abnormal, turn off power supply, connect the output and turn it on to check the power on your PC

Why my blinkers dnt work but hazards do in 00 Pontiac Bonneville

You have no clue, guessing won't fix it , having wiring diagrams an using a DVOM - digital volt ohmmeter will. Testing an reading how they are suppose to work will. factory service info.

Turn Lamps
Battery positive voltage (B+) is supplied at all times to the turn signal/hazard flasher module in the hazard switch assembly from the rear fuse block T/SIG HAZ Fuse. The turn signal/hazard flasher module is permanently grounded. Battery positive voltage (B+) is supplied with the ignition switch in the ON or START position to the turn signal switch in the instrument panel from the rear fuse block IGN 1 Fuse.
When the turn signal switch is placed in the position to indicate a LH turn battery positive voltage (B+) is input to the turn signal/hazard flasher module Left Turn Input. In response to this input the turn signal/hazard flasher module supplies battery positive voltage (B+) in an on and off flashing pattern to the LH turn lamps and the instrument panel cluster (IPC) LH Turn Input. The LH turn lamps are permanently grounded so the LH turn lamps light when they have power, ground and turn off while power is removed. The IPC will also light the LH turn indicator.
When the turn signal switch is placed in the position to indicate a RH turn battery positive voltage (B+) is input to the turn signal/hazard flasher module Right Turn Input. In response to this input the turn signal/hazard flasher module supplies battery positive voltage (B+) in an on and off flashing pattern to the RH turn lamps and the IPC RH Turn Input. The RH turn lamps are permanently grounded so the RH turn lamps light when they have power and ground and turn off while power is removed. The IPC will also light the RH turn indicator.

Did the turn lamps operate properly?

Go to Step 3
Go to Turn Signal Lamps and Indicators Inoperative - One Side
3
Disconnect the instrument panel cluster (IPC) connector.
Connect a test lamp between the inoperative turn signal input circuit at the IPC connector and a good ground.
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Move the turn signal switch to the inoperative turn position.
Does the test lamp turn ON and OFF with the turn signal lamps?

Tried to power my acer z3101 u4062 to on but it wont. Our pwer supplies 240 v . The sticker on the back of the computer says it has ratings of 110-120/220-240 Vac. The wires are properly wired in. Am i...

On the back of your power supply if you slide the switch to the voltage for your house (110V or 220V) and it still doesn't work, try the following:
1. Make sure the toggle switch on the power supply is in the on position.
2. This is important; is the power cord firmly pushed into your power supply? It can sometimes pop loose just enough not to make a good contact.
3. Last but not least, plug something else in the same wall socket your computer is plugged into to make sure there is electricity.

Virea tv has just stopped working. Whilst watching it has switched itself off and there is no standby light or anything. All power cords and supplies are fine but it won't switch back on.

Good day!Follow this D.I.Y procedures to find the exact problem of your TV.
  1. Remove the back cover of your TV.
  2. After that,find the power supply board.
  3. If you already found the power supply,plug-in your TV and power it ON.Check the input voltage of it,using multimeter (AC range).If the power supply have no input voltage the problem could be the power cord.Replace it.
  4. If the power supply have the input voltage,try to test the output voltage if have 5vdc for the system and logic supply,12vdc for the sounds and 24vdc for the back-light inverter.Use your multimeter tester (DC range) to test that.
  5. If the power supply have a voltage outputs such as 5vdc,12vdc and 24vdc and the problem is still there.The problem could be the main board.Replace it with the same type and model # because the main board is no very difficult to fix and its very sensitive.
  6. If the power supply have no output voltage or the voltage is too low,just ignore the step # 5 because the problem is not on the main board,its on the power supply board.
Check the following to fix the power supply board:
  • Fuse: Check the fuse if it is busted or blown.
  • Power transistor (regulator): Check the regulator if it is shorted or leak.
  • Resistor: Check the resistors specially the one that have a low resistance that near the power regulator.
  • Capacitor: Also check the capacitors if it is leak or bulging top.
NOTE: If you found any defective parts or components that mention above replace it with the same value,type and ratings.

I hope this solution will be helpful.Thank you and good luck.

Have a e machine fan runs but connect monitor to another computer it works. smell a burning smell when turn on pc. Got it to come up once by unplug power hold on button 45 seconds plug in and turn on came...

The smell is the Power Supply.

Typical example of a Power Supply not installed in a desktop computer,

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4435072&CatId=106

[ NOTE*
This is not an example of a direct replacement Power Supply for your computer. I would need to know the Model Number of your eMachines to give exact information ]

Bad Power Supply. Weak voltage power rail. (Or rails. There are three main voltage power rails for a Power Supply used in an eMachines desktop computer)

Enough power to light LED lights, and apparently spin fans, but Not enough to turn the Processor on.

Watts = Voltage times Amperage.
One measurement used for measuring the maximum available power output, of a desktop Power Supply, (SMPS. Switched-Mode Power Supply), is to state the Maximum Wattage available.

Typical maximum Wattage available for a typical eMachines Power Supply, usually averages from 150 to 300Watts.

1) ALL of the LED lights on at one time, will use less than 1 Watt of power.

2) EACH fan uses 2 to 3 Watts of power.

3) A typical Processor can use 51 to 125 Watts of power.
Depends on what Processor it is.

(Note* Intel Pentium II processors use less than 51 Watts)

Solution is to replace the Power Supply.
This isn't as hard as it 'sounds', if you have never performed this procedure before.
I know you can do it.

2) http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-install-or-change-my-computers-power-supply

3) http://computer.howstuffworks.com/power-supply.htm

If you need guidance in replacing the Power Supply in a step by step for your eMachines, please post in a Comment. (Believe upper right of your page)

Should you also desire recommendations to compare for a Power Supply, I would be happy to provide them.

Start-up problem with emachine 366i

Replace the power supply - but before that - remove every card in the machine and remove the ram too - clean the end of the ram with a pencil eraser - reinstall.
Clean the rest of the cards with a pencil eraser and reinstall.
Blow all the dust from the machine with a can of AIR - get the power supply and fans real good - put it back together and if it works - fine - if not - replace the power supply.
