My Gateway Zx6900 Will Not Power On.

My Gateway Zx6900 Will Not Power On. Could It Be A Bad Power Supply Or The Switch? It Was Working Fine Then Went Out, Came Back On Then Went Out Again And Now Will Not Turn On.

A few more suggestions:


  • On the motherboard, inspect each capacitor (small vertical cylinders) for obvious damage (swelling, leaking).
  • Carefully unplug the 20/24 pin power supply connector from the motherboard and inspect each side for signs of a "short" (melted and darkened plastic).
  • Temporarily remove any extra PCI cards such as modems or sound cards. More than once I've seen a "bad modem" prevent the computer from booting.
  • Locate the three pin CMOS Jumper on the motherboard (consult your computer documentation) usually located near the case pin connection strip and labeled "CMOS." It is usually jumpered 1-2 (default) . Move the jumper to pins 2-3 for 5 minutes. This will reset BIOS to factory default. It's helpful to remove the circular lithium CMOS battery at the same time. Replace the battery and set the CMOS jumper back to pins 1-2. Test the computer by plugging in and powering on.
  • If still unsuccessful and you have access to a known good power supply, try to swap it out and see if it boots.



Thanks
