Im trying to fix a computer for my son in law but it wont start up. Its an emachine 420 2.60 ghz intel celeron processor 80 gb hard drive. I noticed that when i switch it on i hear a clicking sound once from the processor and the fan is not moving. I hope i dont need a new processor. Can anyone help me with this problem, id be very grateful

Jump to PostWhich fan isn't moving? We need to be fairly precise as to what is happening. I presume the keyboard lights don't flash and nothing appears on the screen.
The clicking could come from the speakers and be caused by a short propagating to the speakers. You mentioned one click …
Jump to Postso , it won't turn on !why are you trying to fix it instead of a computer repair person who knows how to fix computers
!!!! when you say processor do you mean the actual cpu chip or the computer tower !
Jump to PostIm gonna stab at the problem being your power supply, emachines are great for having to replace them......but more details would be nice....
