A) It's lazyB) Too tiredC) It's TuesdayD) The ATX Power On switch is bad, or the Power Supply.Suggest you diagnose by bypassing the Power On switch.Has nothing to do with the Power On switch, or it's wires. A jumper wire is used on the Soft Power On wire to ANY Ground wire.The eMachines W3653 Desktop PC uses an ECS 945GCT-M3 motherboard,http://support.gateway.com/s/MOTHERBD/Shared/4006188R/4006188Rnv.shtmlUses a 24-pin ATX main power cable,http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atxmain24[Note* Color of connectors does not matter ]Note the Green wire going into the back of the power cable's connector. This is the Soft Power On wire. (Abbreviated PS_ON)Note all the Black wires. ALL Black wires are Ground wires.The preferred jumper wire is a straightened out paper clip, then bent into a U-shape.The top of the U is wrapped a few times with black plastic electrical tape. This taped area is for your fingers and thumb to hold onto.Turn the U-shaped jumper wire upside down, and the 'legs' are what is used.One leg goes down into a socket hole with the Green wire.The wires go down into the Back of the power cable's connector.Down into socket holes in the connector.The jumper wire 'leg' goes down into the back of the connector, RIGHT NEXT TO the Green wire, and slides down in the socket hole past the insulation of the wire.The jumper wire MUST go down far enough in the socket hole, to touch the metal terminal.Every wire going into the 24-pin ATX main power cable's connector, ends in a metal terminal,http://www.molex.com/molex/products/datasheet.jsp?part=active/0002081202_CRIMP_TERMINALS.xml&channel=Products&Lang=en-USThe other 'leg' of the jumper wire goes down into the back of the power cable connector, and into ANY socket hole that has a Black wire in it. ALL Black wires are Ground wires.The contact made is no more than 2 seconds.The Power On switch is Momentary Contact Switch.IF the Power Supply comes on you have a bad $5 Power On switch.IF the Power Supply does Not come on you have a bad Power Supply.http://www.directron.com/atxswitch.htmlFor additional questions please post in a Comment.Regards,joecoolvette

Your motherboard may be fried.

First you can get more information from the POST beep. (Power-on self-test (POST)). Using another PC from a friend or work search for this list on line. If you get one long beep there is an issue with the main board. Try taking out the memory and reseating each card. Also make sure the power connections to the mother board are good and tight.

If you don't mind loosing everything on the hard drive, restoring the system is fairly easy. Locate your disks that came with the computer. In there, you should find a disk either for Vista Home or a restoration disk. Place this in the drive and reboot the computer. You may have to press a key like F8, F10, etc, during the very first startup screen to boot to the disk. You should be able to follow on screen instructions from there.

3 bleeps usually relating to memory... try removing and re-inserting RAM and video cards... or try them elsewhere in another machine. It may be wise to remove all the RAMs and add one at a time while trying to reboot. NOTE: Remove the power wait a few moments before handling each RAM.Another cause since it's been 'sitting' a while could well be the power supply due to failing capacitors, so trying another wouldn't be a bad idea.

I would look inside at the power supply IF you can get to that for puffed up caps---if found you can either replace them (seen some with several bad) or look for a generic replacement power supply.Usually here it will begin by being hard to turn on at first but once on will operate--sooner or later it will not come on at all.

More than likely a hardware module went bad on your machine. The easiest way to figure is remove the memory modules one by one each time boot machine up with devices removing them one at a time if it stops beeping and loads that is the device that you will need to replace. John

You may want to try re-doing the driver for the sound card. Sometime when they get removed are you using a PCI card or on-board either way something was lost in the mix of things. You would think just switching the box would not be a big deal when moving parts around to the same places. You may have used a different PCI port possibly download the driver software again or go online and check updates Windows it may come up with the driver for you. I think you can find that driver Click Here John
