hi there....i need a little help here,
i alreday googled for a while but did not get it fixed

is a emachine T2460 the power supply was burned and got a used one but as soon as i plugged the power cord in the back fans start running and just keeps like that running and running , nothing on screen, power button doesnt do nothing ,cd and dvd drives are on they open and close and hard drive led is orange.
i already push and hold the power button but does not turn fans off.
is this weird or normal.

thanks

any domed or leaking can shaped capacitors on motherboard? remove all power & data cables to drives. clear the cmos as have found that to work sometimes to kickstart a stubborn system. onboard video or a videocard? no beeps from speakers? remove all cards & ram except for videocard & 1 stick of ram, reseat those 2.

did you try powering up the pc without the drives & modem connected to motherboard? any beeps at all? did you clear the cmos? can you try another psu just to make certain.

clearing the cmos means taking tha battery out.??

and you meant power supply by psu right.?

sorry but i am not familiar with computers terminology.

if another psu without any of the drives connected still not work then you need a new motherboard.

Not often i see DDP posting :P

Those Emachines T2460's are just trouble unfortunatly. DDP is right, Motherboard is definetly at fault. From what i remember of experience with these particular machines is the south bridge not allowing it to POST (power on self test)...

Sorry :(
