    Now when I turn on my PC, nothing happens except that I can hear the fan moving. The PC light is not on. The keyboard does not responds (usually the cap lock, num lock and scroll lock buttons will blink when the PC is booting up). The monitor says no signal is received. Does anyone know what may be wrong?

    I didn't do anything to the PC between the last time I used it and today. The only thing I can think of which might affect the PC is that I vacuumed my room yesterday. Would it be the statics from the vacuum or something? Please give your advice. Thank you.

    i had the same problem about a month or so ago,

    all the fans were on,

    i had accidently knocked the power supply to the motherboard,

    pushed it back onto the board, and all was well :)

    other than that i dont know?confused

    If that's really the problem, is there any way to fix it? Please advice. Thank you.

    I just re-read your post...I thought you vacumed inside the PC:eek: If you are plugged in a grounded outlet, the vacum probably didn't cause it. You could try checking things inside to make sure all are seated right

    As musksnipe says, you might have a loose, or, poorly seated component.
    If you know a bit about your computer, the, remove power plug, remove side panel, and if you do not have an antystatic wrist strap, make sure you touch the framework first to discharge any static.
    Return to us for more details, if you feel capable of going beyond opening the case, and want us to explain each step -

    Last time I heard of something like this it turned out the family pet had chewed through some lines.
