Big John from Westbury writes to us:
I have a dell machine that will not boot up there are no beeps no nothing. It was working yesterday. It just ran out of warranty. I checked the hard drive in another machine its good. The power supply seems to be good as well. any other ideas? Can this Admin guy really help me without seeing my computer?

Had this happen to me recently it was that the box got banged around i reseated everything from the memory to the modem. I think it was the modem. but its working 100% now.

Big J is right, try reseating everything. Still no beeps? You might have a dead board. You can get a PC Diagnostic card, and see what codes you get… This is kind of a difficult one without seeing it.
Speaking of dead board. I once had a home consulting gig, and the guy said he was typing away on his PC when BAM everything powered off abruptly. When he tried to turn the thing back on it wouldn’t. It turned out his motherboard got fried.
I replaced the board, and got everything running again, then shut it down. The next time I tried powering on again it wouldn’t. The new board was fried too. It turns out his power supply was failing. I replaced the board and the power supply, everything was right as rain.
Something to think about…
It was the 56k v2 modem – it is just busted the machine doesnt come up with it. without it it works gret thank u
