My PC won't turn on... HELP!

[nickv360]

So, I just moved apartments. In the process I moved my PC from its old spot next to my TV stand to its new spot next to my TV stand in a different apartment. Now it won't turn on. Nothing. There is a green LED on the mobo that is lit, but when I push the power button nothing happens. What could have happened to it in the move? I suspect that I broke the power switch by accidentally bashing it, is there an easy way to switch the computer on if the exterior power switch has become dysfunctional? Any other ideas on what could have happened to it? Any methods of troubleshooting this? I don't have an extra PSU....

You can jump the pins where the case connector plugs into the MB with a screwdriver. However, before you do that, reseat all the components.

:thumbsup: You can also try plugging the reset switch into the power switch header and using the reset switch as the power.

Most likely something just became dislodged when you move it. A power switch can fail, but it is rare.
