    If your PC’s not powering up, don’t immediately panic and run around the room while you’re shouting and tearing your hair out (obviously I’ve done this before). Here are some basic tips on how to seal with this problem before you call your local (and expensive) PC repair man.

    Check if your PC’s plugged in. Yes, boys and girls, there’s been a lot of situation where the the computer gets unplugged when your electric-bill-crazy-mom would pull it out while you’re away from keyboard to save on the utility charges. Or you forgot that you pulled it out last night.

    If it’s plugged, and the switch is in “on” position, check the following:

  • strip
  • surge protector
  • uninterruptable power supply (UPS)
  • wall outlet the computer’s plugged into
  • If that still doesn’t work then it’s time to open up your CPU. If your motherboard LEDs don’t light up then your power supply’s dead. However, if LEDS are lighting up then your Power button might be the culprit. If that’s the case you may need to replace the entire front bezel.
