My in-laws dropped their tower off at my house while I was working, saying it was dead.
I tried to boot it, no fans spin up, silently dead. The cdrw light does flash for a brief moment.
I then opened the case, reset the cmos, cleared out a colony of dust bunnies and tried again. The cpu fan and the psu fan both spin about 1/16th of a turn and stop. No fans start up and the hd makes no noise.
The computer had previously run great, without any problems since I built it for them a couple of years ago.
The mobo is an ECS all aboard basic model.
K7SOM+
I has the built in Duron type cpu, 1600mhz with onboard vid/sound/lan. The system is an email/online banking monster and I dont want to strip my computer down to test out parts if I dont have to. (Like if someone here is brilliant and has the answer )
I did connect my psu to the mobo/hd of the parents computer and it was the same. DEAD
Thanks for your thoughts
