check your power supply and makes sure it is connected correctly, and make sure the power supply isnt a dud

Re-boot and go into the Bios and see if they are being recognized there.  If not, try a different power connector from the power supply. It sounds like the drives aren't even getting power. It's hard to believe both drives could go bad at once.  Even if the IDE Controller went bad, the drive tray will still open as long as it's getting power.

could be a power supply or overheat issue

G'day,\n\nI would suggest to bring your IBM & the charger to a local electrical store and ask for a generic/compatible charger.  Plug it in and see if you can start the unit.\n\nIf the unit starts, then you can say your thank you prayer and purchase the new charger.  \nIf it does not starts, then make an excuse to the salesperson for not buying the new charger, go home and contact IBM support to fix your laptop, since it is very obvious that the electrical discharge has fried your motherboard as well.\n\nHope this helps.  Good luck!

Take it in to a shop and have them look at your power supply. It sounds like that could well be your problem. If so, it is a fairly easy fix. Trust me, it happens way too often of late. Good luck.

If the computer is under warranty,I would contact the company that made it.If warranty is out and this is a problem that has just recently occured then I would either take it to a computer technician or If you know anything about going inside one,I would say your power supply is on the blink and needs to be replace.If the heat is coming from the general area of the power supply,I would most deffinatly say this is the problem.\n\nGood luck with that computer

are you powering up with your battery alone, or are you plugged into an outlet?\n\nhow old is your computer? is it worth spending money to fix it by going to a computer repair shop?  are your files very valuable?

If you have used a power suply tester and verified that that power supply in the current computer is OK, then unplug and replug in every connection to that motherboard. Try restarting the PC and see if the PC reboots up. If you have a second power supply then take the other one out and hook that one up. If you still cannot get the PC to start up or at least get the BIOS start up screen there is no sence testing the motherboard because my friend is fried. Consider replacing it.

What you are in need of is called a Bios Debug Card.  You can get a cheap one from Soyo at http://www.geeks.com  Is your CPU fan plugged in right?  Most newer boards will not start up if that is not working.  If it is working when you power up, but are not getting any video the video card may be bad.  If nothing is working but you are getting beeps on Boot, then the RAM may be bad.  A good rule of thumb is to try using only the main components (video RAM Hard drive) and get the system running first.  Then start adding other components (sound network modem etc) after it is running.  This helps stop any conflicts from happening when you first try to get a system running.  Hope this helps

Don't buy eMachine because the components inside are cheap so not reliable. (and that's why they're selling cheap)\n\nI built my own so can't recommend any brands to you.

If you don't even get the dell splash screen after replacing a video card, I would try reseating all the power cables going to the mother board. If you still get no video, then maybe you can get a pci video card to use just to get by. Make sure your following ESD procedure when installing parts (you might be frying the part before it even gets into the system).

check to see if any other appliance works in those sockets. If the socket works. It sounds like the power supply may have gone bad in the computer

yea this has happened to me before i think it has to do with your power supply, is this an older PC?  Pretty sure its the power supply shorting out a Lil and making it think its restarting

Ceck the speaker and the wiring at the back of the cpu. plug it out then plug it in again. See if that's the problem. It worked with mine.

I just checked and the emachines support page is up. If you go to the middle of the page they have an option to do live chat or email tech support:\n\nhttp://www.emachines.com/support/product_support.html

There could be quite a few problems, but this could also be a fairly simple fix.  I would first try to just unplug the whole darn thing, wait about 30 seconds, and then plug it in again and try to start it.  Seeing as you have internet access, I would also try going to this website: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07173&lc=en&cc=us&rule=14694&dlc=&product=396431.  That hopefully will help. =)  Good luck!

Ooooooooh \ntack it easy...\n 1) first make sure that every thing is fixed correctly and if necessary re-assemble the PC.\n 2) reset the BIOS (remove battery or by jumpier)\n 3) finally Chick the power supply (SMPS) connections or change it.\n\nGOOD LUCK
