HP Pavilion 753N will not power up...
 |
I have a HP 753N 2.53GHz P4 Desktop System w/CD-RW/DVD.
When the power button is pushed it just makes a clicking sound but will not stay powered. The fans momentarily come on, hard drive tries to spin up, but when I release the power button it just shuts off. Have checked the internal cables (nothing appears loose).
Any thoughts to this?

If you hold down the button for a couple minutes, will your computer boot? If so, there's probably just something wrong with the switch.
Unfortunately holding it down will not power it up but instead will make a prolonged clicking noise. The hard drive spins but never boots as do the fans on the processor.
The clicking just repeats over and over like when you start a car that won't even turn over. The power switch never seems to quite catch.
Is this a problem with the switch as well as the power supply?
(Hard drive works fine... I've taken it out and tried it in another system)
Thanks for any input!

No new devices have been added.
The problem surfaced when I received the computer back from a friend who had borrowed it.
She also assured me that no other devices/software had been added.
