Computer won't start

ericshin · 09-21-2009, 11:25 PM

hey,

I took out the power supply (the block where the power cable plugs into sorry if this thing is not called a power supply) from one of my computers. I put it back in and plugged it back exactly how it was. I'm sure of this because i labled everything before i took it out. Now my computer won't start. Plz help.

Please use simple terminology as i don't know what some things mean. E.g. i don't know what "power it up" means

thanks

check the plug is securely into the m/board

what else did you take out and why

ericshin · 09-22-2009, 06:32 PM

other computer's power supply was blown and i had to save it coz it had my school work. So i took my chances and tried to swap them over

there is a cable with two heads. one can click on to the mother board and the other can't. By the looks of it, it's secure

what brand and model are the 2 power supplies

ericshin · 09-23-2009, 01:15 AM

their exactly the same. It says Task international inc and it has this logo that says task

dai · 09-23-2009, 03:02 AM

they are generics

what are you running
video card
cpu
m/board
ram
power supply
brand
wattage

how many amps listed on the label for the 12v line

ericshin · 09-24-2009, 09:32 PM

according to system information

amd athlon(tm) 64 processor 3200+
2.16 Ghz
1 gb ram

and i don't know about the rest

But all i did was take out the power supply and put the exact same one back in again.

dai · 09-25-2009, 06:27 AM

look at the label on the side of the power supply

ericshin · 10-31-2009, 10:14 PM

sorry was overseas so i wasnt able to visit this site.

Under the +12v line says 26A and under that 26A it says yellow.

Under the -12V line it says0.8A and under that it says blue

when the other psu went it has probably taken something with it

see if you can slave the h/drive in another computer to get off what you need from it

ericshin · 11-01-2009, 04:27 PM

wat do you mean taken something from it? is there no way to fix it?

dai · 11-02-2009, 01:23 AM

when the psu went it could have taked out

ram
video
drives
m/board
cpu

see if you hear the beep error code if you boot with no ram

try your ram and video card in another computer if you can to check them

ericshin · 11-03-2009, 04:19 PM

im a lil nervous about taking anything more out of the computer. starting the computer withour the ram chips wont screw up the computer will it?

dai · 11-04-2009, 08:58 AM

no it will indicate if there is a problem with the m/board

ericshin · 11-12-2009, 03:10 AM

theres no beep. does that mean motherboard is stuffed?

dai · 11-12-2009, 08:31 AM

either the m/b or the psu

without the full specs posted it is hard to determine

ericshin · 11-13-2009, 04:54 PM

where do i look for the full specs? the ram were made by adata and there were two chips. both 500mb ones. Graphics card is a nvidia geforce 6600le. its either the 6600 or 6600le.

dai · 11-13-2009, 10:12 PM

see what this gives you

from the psu label

brand
model
wattage

ericshin · 11-15-2009, 02:32 AM

450watts (max)
task international brand
TK-945Tx

dai · 11-15-2009, 08:47 AM
