1.	Solve : PC not turning on..?
Answer» Hi first off, thanks so much to anyone who helps me with this, I have a load of work on the computer and I'm really worried about it. I think this may have been caused by tripping over the homeplug wire, jolting my pc slightly. It FROZE with funny letters at the top of the screen, I turned it off and now the screen doesn't turn on it says "no SIGNAL" also the power button doesn't work, only the reset button. My pc is a shuttle, um 1gig ram, I think. Athlon gforce4...5 card. Um on windows service pack 2 for XP, that's all I can remember for now, but if you need more info I can try and find out from the guy who made my pc. Thanks a lot!!

Stef What is the homeplug wire, the power cable? Did you trip over the VGA cable? If so you may have loosened your Video card, check to make sure it is pushed in all the way and That it simply isn't broken.

Stef good luck on that, I hope he remembers.The first thing to do would be to reseat the video card, especially if that was the card that got pulled, and then disconnect and reconnect the cable to the monitor. Make sure your power cord is fully plugged in as well. If the trip resulted in a power surge you may have DAMAGED some components, but let's check that first. Hi thanks for responding so QUICKLY! The guy who made my computer SAID the same thing... I took out what I thought was the video cards, but removed the memory by mistake, and it worked! thanks a lot, this is such a relief!Strange, but happy to help .
