Hi I just found this forumn and has quite a bit of useful information hope someone can help me out
I was just given an Hp a210n tower problem is when I push the button on the front nothing happens the fans will not turn on but the LED on back of computer comes on when plugged in and stays green is this something that can be fixed easily or not I am willing to try it myself first before taking to local BB as they don't know to much I seem to know more than them and I am just a housekeeper

Thanks so much for any help or advice that is given

Does the fan in the PSU come on when you press the on button?

no fans come on at all

if the fans in the power supply don't come on I would say your power supply is bad. Changing a PSU is not difficult but if you never opened a computer I would not recommend it.

thank you for the reply i figured that is what it was so i am ordering one and I have worked on computers somewhat so I am gonna try it and will let you know the results thanks again for the your help

just make sure your 2 plugs on the motherboard are on tight. They are keyed so they only go on one way. Pay attention to how you remove the old one and you shouldn't have any problems...good luck

thank you again so much for the useful information

Well I installed new PSU got power now but nothing comes up on the monitor. Going to go back in and double check that all wires are tight and memory is seated right will report back.

double check the memory modules and your video cable..if you have a seperate video card (not onboard video) check and make sure the video card is seated and the thumb screws are tight. Is the hard drive spinning?

Installed new PSU have power now but nothing comes up on the monitor, Have checked all cables to make sure they are on nice and tight,and they are. Memory is also seated correctly. What can I try next? Hard Drive???
Thanks for the help
