Hi,
I'm going to call technical support in the morning. But wondered if any of
the experts here could help first! I was using my PC today and it was
absolutely fine. We've only had it 6 months and there have been no symptoms
of anything wrong with it at all until tonight. I switched it off about 4
hours ago and noticed nothing odd, as I went off to watch the England game.
Upon returning about an hour ago, the PC just wouldn't switch on!! Dead. No
life, noise or anything. Just as if you'd taken the plug out of the wall and
tried to then turn it on.
I was the last to use it. The switch at the back was still on. The monitor
comes on (well the green light anyway), and I've swapped all the plugs
around in the wall sockets to ensure that they are not to blame. I've made
sure all the cables are in ok too. I've tried putting the (working) fuse
from the monitor plug into the PC plug with no effect. It's still doesn't
come on. Although an interesting point of note is that after trying it in
the monitor plug the fuse that was in the PC plug doesn't work now.
Has anyone got any ideas?? I just don't understand how something just
doesn't switch on, when you were using it fine only hours before. There was
no flickering of room lights/tv or anything to indicate a power surge. If
that is an indicator anyway.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!!
What are the odds of my data being ok?
Thanks for any help,
