I've had my desktop computer for about 2 year now. It is a compaq sg2060il. On Saturday afternoon, it was going a bit slow so I decided to restart it. However, once it turned off, it will no longer turn on and boot up.
The power button usually lights up, but now it does not. The DVD drive still opens, and a few lights blink on start up as usual.
The screen is blank. All of the fans seem to go.
I have made sure everything is plugged in, and tried plugging it into different outlets. I can't boot from a CD, the keyboard turn on and also does the mouse.
As far as starting up goes, everything sounds normal. No beeps or clicks to hint at harddrive failure. Sometimes when I try to start it up nothing comes on but the center fan on the metal prongs (the one that would run for only a few seconds) goes on full blast until I turn it off.
If everything seems to be going, what is stopping it from booting up?
