hi there....i need a little help here, i alreday googled for a while but did not get it fixed is a emachine T2460 the power supply was burned and got a used one but as soon as i plugged the power cord in the back fans start running and just keeps like that running and running , nothing on screen, power button doesnt do nothing ,cd and dvd drives are on they open and close and hard drive led is orange. i already push and hold the power button but does not turn fans off. is this weird or normal. thanks
any domed or leaking can shaped capacitors on motherboard? remove all power & data cables to drives. clear the cmos as have found that to work sometimes to kickstart a stubborn system. onboard video or a videocard? no beeps from speakers? remove all cards & ram except for videocard & 1 stick of ram, reseat those 2.
thanks ddp !! i already check all the things you said then plugged back everthing but nothing changed . i posted some pictures i did not see anything wrong like bad transitors or burned circuits . what else can be.??
did you try powering up the pc without the drives & modem connected to motherboard? any beeps at all? did you clear the cmos? can you try another psu just to make certain.
clearing the cmos means taking tha battery out.?? and you meant power supply by psu right.? sorry but i am not familiar with computers terminology. thanks a lot!!!
ok ....and also i heard no beeps at all just the loudy psu and procesor fans ...next thing i will try is another psu i think i'll do that tomorrow, thanks man. i'll post it tomorrow .
Not often i see DDP posting Those Emachines T2460's are just trouble unfortunatly. DDP is right, Motherboard is definetly at fault. From what i remember of experience with these particular machines is the south bridge not allowing it to POST (power on self test)... Sorry
yeah, i used another known working good psu and same thing. next step then is get a used motherboard ...should be no more than 30 bucks. thanks for the help i really apreciate it.!!
no problem. if can afford it then also get more ram say upto a gig as you will see a noticeable improvement.
