Re: boot problems

have you ever put the computer to sleep? if so did you notice if it were orange?

I assume this is a desktop.

have you tried keeping the power button pressed in for 5 sec then pressing the power button a couple of seconds after?

Re: boot problems

Did you disasemble your case to correct the faulty button? Allot of the hardware in the system are verry touch sensative. Maybe you have knocked one of the wires out that leader from the button to the Motherboard?

Re: boot problems

So you get no input in the sense of the screen?

If not then I need you to remove all sticks of RAM present and then start the machine. If it continues too beep then it seems the motherboard is in check else it may be more difficult then expected.

Re: boot problems

Try remove the power cord to the PC and holding down the power button over 20 seconds to discharge the PC.

Connect the power cord again and press the power button.

Hope this helps!
