Hi everyone, the other week my mom bought a new computer because her old one was dead, and she didnt know how to fix it, I told her I could have tried, but I guess she really wanted a new one, or didnt have time to wait.
I tried to turn the computer on, and it doesnt turn on at all. I press the power button, and the computer does nothing (No sound like anything is trying to even boot up).
The first two times I tried to turn it on, it made a pop type noise, sounding like something blew. So I took of the side to see what it was doing. But everytime I would press the power button it wouldnt make it anymore.
Now my question is. What can I tell went bad on it. I wanted to help my dad get a new computer because the one hes using is pretty crappy. But at the moment, I dont have the big $$$ to buy a new one, so I figured fixing this one would do the thing.
How can I tell what went bad, what I need to replace, etc.
Here are the specs of the computer:
Intel Celeron Processor
1.80 Ghz DDR
40GB HD
XP Home
If you need anymore specs, let me know.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Kiel
