small problem

[poopoppa]

Ok so i have this small problem where i can't turn my computer on. I moved recently... Unplugged my computer brought it with me then plugged it back in and thats it. But now it wont power on. I tried reseting the power in the back and nothing. Theres a green light on the back of the box that blinks. Is this a power source issue or what? I just dont wanna buy some thing i don't need. Any help is appreciated. thanks.

When you unplugged the computer, did you physically yank the power cord from the power supply and plug it back in the same way? It's possible that you shorted out your PSU or Mobo. Mobos from the the last 5 years or so have little lights on them to show that they are receiving power, I'd check to see if you have one and that it's actually lighting up.

Ya i physically unplugged the power cord, then plugged it back in at my new place. The light blinks faster when i plug it in like its getting more juice but it really isnt there yet? Then once i unplug it blinks slower and slower b/c theres no more juice. I'll check when i get home from work. So i may have to buy a new mobo?

What light are you talking about? Where is it on the back of your machine?
I'm not sure if it's your PSU or Mobo, but it sounds like one of them. You should never unplug your computer like that.

The light is at the top left corner on the back, just below the cord input. I dont know of any other way to disconnect the cord from the box itself, what would u suggest? It's not like the computer was on and running.

So this light is on your PSU then, I see... Still doesn't mean that it's working though
You will probably have to check the light on the Mobo to be sure.

There's a reason why they put switches at the back of a PSU you know Always turn that off first before unplugging, doesn't matter if it's on or not, though it would have been worse if it was on.
