One day when I tried to turn it on, it wouldn't start. So I opened it up and tried to power it on and the fan would whir up and then just die. Any help or am I screwed?

Take The Battery Out And Leave It Out For A few Days.

battery? I dont understand.

There is a battery on the motherboard. Try to take it out for a few days. If I remember right it should reset your bios settings.

What He Said.

Does anything pop up on the Monitor?

I suggest making sure no USB / external devices are plugged in, make sure the power is plugged in all the way. Also, make sure the inside is not totally dusty.

Nothing at all, totally unresponsive.


And is there anyway I can locate and take out the battery?I dont have the manual

Its just a battery that looks like that (the left picture):

It shouldn't be too hard to find just by looking inside the computer.
But if you don't find it could you tell me what motherboard do you have?

I cant remember but I have located the battery. Its seems to be under the vidoeo card. Is there any special way to take it out?

Power pack might be blown.

^As he said just take out the battery.
