E 1000 Gateway computer with a 233mmx chip - locked up - rebooted it. It did
it again and wouldn't reboot. It won't start up now.
The fan runs, the light will come on on the cd drive, and the hard drive runs
briefly but nothing else. The floppy drive doesn't light up and if I put a
disk in it before turning it on nothing happens. I don't get any bios info on
the monitor either. The monitor stays blank and the light on it blinks like it
is in a sleep mode.
Tried unplugging different things inside and turning it on, but still nothing.
I even plugged in another hard drive. I have both 12v and 5v power at the
drives.
I have made sure everything is plugged in tight also. I don't see any battery
either. I did get the light on the front of the computer to go from power
save mode to a non-blinking green light, but it still wont turn on.
any ideas?
