@Sarge - Hardware I guess.  Turned it off yesterday, and it will not turn on today.  Nothing, nada.  No bleeps or fan whirr, so doesn't even get as far as.. well, anything.  Not sure where to start on it!

 I used to put PC's together many years ago, but times they are a changin'.

Sarge

Cmos battery or Cmos reset jumper would be my first thought.

That looks like a loose connection or a PSU failure. Check the motherboard power and the CPU Fan slots. If that doesn't work, check the PSU, you can jumper the motherboard power cable with a paperclip to see if the PSU still lives.

Rox

I think the PSU is fine, as when I switch the switch, the lights in the room dim...

This was the desktop computer where the ethernet socket stopped working after the lightning strike...

Rox

The PSU must've had a gradual fail.  I swapped it for an old one (and had to make my own four pin to sata plug as it didn't have any) and it's back up and running.

If anyone wants anything and has some PC bits, I'm open to trades...!  I had to take another PC to bits..!

Is it plugged in?

Is there dust on the fan, chips etc? Might be worth a hoover. That was the problem with a previous PC of mine once. A quick once over with the vac and it came back to life.

Sarge

What pc bits are you needing @Rox?
I have loads of bits n bobs, just cover postage.

Rox

UPDATE:  Had some slightly better news which means my clear-out can stop (at least temporarily!)

@Sarge - thing is, my computer is probably a good 6 or 7 years old - still running XP!    So I probably should get something newer.  Suggestions useful and I'm completely open to good value secondhand.. not fussy, me. 

TTony

I've got an old PC that's about to become surplus to requirements.  In fact, there'll be a couple by the weekend.  Can't remember specs off the top of my head, and they'll come without HDD/OS.  But they'll be cheap.

Rox

@TTony - keep me posted, please.    I'd probably just move the HDD over anyway... I'm lazy...

Rox

Beeeummmmmppppp.

Rox

Just a bump as my PC is now pretty much on it's last legs...  but I'm withdrawing the Custardcaster.  It's just too... custardy.

Rox

Vibrola soldola.

Rox

What a year... bad news means everything back up for sale, including the legendary custardcaster.

So, Custardcaster back up for sale, £300.

And a OLP Musicman Silhouette metallic burgundy.  It's bloody brilliant, £150.

Will add pics in a little while.
