It is not uncommon for us to receive a calls from customers describing a computer will not turn on. If this is similar to your case then stay calm, its rarely irrecoverable.

Common causes of computers that will not turn on

• Power surge blowing the power supply unit (PSU)
• Aged and leaking capacitors
• Overheating due to old thermal transfer compound, dust or failing fan
• Loose component due to movement

If your computer will not start then perform following checks:

• If the computer switched off during use, try waiting 10 minutes. If the computer then works, but turns off again in due course please call us as it may be overheating
• Check if there is a power switch at the back of the computer near to where the power cable is plugged in and the switch is in the on position
• Try plugging the power lead from the monitor directly into the wall and into the PC, if this gives a green light check the fuse in power cord and any multi-plug or surge protector.
