vishal27 11 Report post Posted September 14, 2012 Or you can try to check SMPS got failed or Not....with starting a power and one short wire OR Multimeter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
admirer2000 100 Report post Posted September 14, 2012 RAM also need to be tested - possible that it w'd have jumped out of the slot or dust prevents the contacts. Just remove the RAM, dust it out and fix it in the slot properly and start the PC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rahul Always 87 Report post Posted September 14, 2012 It could be a defect with the SMPS since the SMPS and CPU fans are not rotating when you switch on the PC. The power required by the motherboard is minimal and therefore the SMPS is able to just provide power for that. However, it is not able to sustain the additional power requirements of running a PC and therefore nothing happens. In addition to changing SMPS, I would suggest carrying out the following if you are not a noob as far as PC is concerned: - (a) Open up the CPU case. Make sure that you and the screw driver you use are grounded prior to this. ( Remove the memory stick (s) and clean the contacts using a normal eraser. Also if you have a source of compressed / pressurised air, then blow the memory card slots on the motherboard to remove dust, foreign objects, if any. © If you have a display card, remove the card and clean as above. (d) Check that the fans are functioning properly when the power is switched on. Clean the fans and contacts as appropriate. (e) Remove and re-fit all power and data cords to the DVD drive and Hard disks Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadow 119 Report post Posted September 14, 2012 I cleaned it using a blower, specially used for pcs and leaned all theother parts , so its not because of dust, It could be a defect with the SMPS since the SMPS and CPU fans are not rotating when you switch on the PC.

Rahul Always 87 Report post Posted September 18, 2012 If you have a LAN card (internal) or a display card, try and remove that and then restart your PC. Defect on either of these could also result in your PC not starting up considering that you have replaced your SMPS and not got any success. Further, if you have more than one memory module, try and start by removing them and inserting them one by one. Remove connections for your DVD drive. If you have more than one HDD, then remove connections and use them one by one. Any one faulty component could result in this situation.
