You may want to have your friend go through this troubleshooting guide: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph06788&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=60483&rule=7839&lang=en

Are PSUs universal?

A nice unequivocal 'sort of' here! There are standards but many computer manufacturers supply non-standard power supplies; a call to HP ought to sort out whether or not you have a 'standard' power supply. If you do, you can purchase one anywhere - just be sure that it is AT LEAST the same wattage as the one that you are replacing. Also, buy from a reputable manufacturer - I've had good luck with Antec and there are many others: Thermaltake, Sparkle, OCZ, to name a few.

Don't know your location but here for your information is a link to Newegg.com: http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=58&name=Power-Supplies

Good luck!Thanks for the troubleshooting guide. I like to be able to try and figure it out myself and if I had this yesterday, I wouldn't have went to my friend. I'll give this all a try when I go home tonight before spending money on a new PSU. Thanks again! Quote from: denyel25 on July 09, 2008, 01:47:52 PM

Sorry - got the impression that you didn't want to go messing around (<-technical term!) inside the case.

Best of luck - please let us know your final determination and solution!I went through the steps in the trouble shooting guide (I messed around) and it seems everything is leading to a bad power supply. I am going to pick one up after work and we'll see what happens. I'll KEEP you posted. Quote from: denyel25 on July 11, 2008, 11:18:01 AM
