There are a number of reasons why your computer will not turn on. This topic
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
gives a brief overview of some of the possible reasons.

Make sure that the power cables of the computer are firmly plugged in and
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
the power outlets are switched on. Make sure that the monitor is plugged in
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
and switched on too. If you have a laptop, connect the charging cable (in
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
case it has run out of battery). You may also want to check that the battery
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
is correctly fitted in place (check the underside of the laptop) if it is
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
removable.

<title>Problem with the computer hardware</title>
|
|

A component of your computer may be broken or malfunctioning. If this is
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
the case, you will need to get your computer repaired. Common faults include
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
a broken power supply unit, incorrectly-fitted components (such as the
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
memory or RAM) and a faulty motherboard.

<title>The computer beeps and then switches off</title>
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
If the computer beeps several times when you turn it on and then turns off
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
(or fails to start), it may be indicating that it has detected a problem.
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
These beeps are sometimes referred to as beep codes, and the pattern
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
of beeps is intended to tell you what the problem with the computer is.
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
Different manufacturers use different beep codes, so you will have to consult
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
the manual for your computer’s motherboard, or take your computer in for
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
repairs.

<title>The computer fans are spinning but nothing is on the screen</title>
|
|
Packit Bot |

The first thing to check is that your monitor is plugged in and turned
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
on.
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
This problem could also be due to a hardware fault. The fans might turn on
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
when you press the power button, but other essential parts of the computer
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
might fail to turn on. In this case, take your computer in for repairs.
