I plugged in my moms new computer only to see it wont boot at all.

My gut is telling me the psu broke at some point on the move from my house to hers.

When i initially flip the O/- switch in the back on the psu the fans spin and the led flashes on for about 1-2 seconds then they stop, then when i hit the computer power button i get nothing at all.

So is it a fried psu? if so my only hope is a compusa/bestbuy run and deal with their inflated prices.

no thats the weird thing, if it shorted i can see it flashing once the first time but it still does it with each flip on/off

Check loose connections first then work from there.

Sound's like it could of popped, or maybe a short from the move. Get a PSU tester and see if the voltages come back ok.

First I saw your thread ShiBDiB, I was going to suggest pull the mobo battery for at least 5-10mins and put the cmos jumper in the clear position for that time as well.

Nice to see you got a new psu though, at least you know now it will work. :)

Did that fix your problem? My old P4 does that, and I leave it in in ) position for like 5 minutes, then I for 5, then i pray, and push power button. It usually works after 20 minutes, and then as long as i never touch the I/O or unplug from power, it works fine. Hah

i think it shorted cause when i brough the computer in it was like a misty fog, so it was problly my dumbness not to let it dry out a bit. But its running fine now, momma gets a new pc, and i get a new rig to fold for me :p
