Hi all,

I have got a problem with my emachine 610, in that it wont power on, no sign of life at all, the only thing I have reciently added is a new sound card 2 days ago, which I have had up and running until this morning when I could get no sign of life from the PC.

So i removed the sound card and tried to power on and no sucess, then tried a different PSU and tried just connectiong minimal components still no sucess, then I cleared CMOS settings and still no sucess, I have read numerous posts regarding emachines and their faulty PSUs and mboards.

Any ideas or suggestions would be much appriceated

Hi there, Welcome to ItsAllPC.

Have you tried a different power lead? Your fuse might have gone.

Hi thanks for the reply

Yes I have tried a different power lead and different socket to no sucess, I have since tried the emachines psu in another pc and it powers up fine, so this would make me think the mboard is damaged somehow.

just a quick question,

I am sure the mboard is dead, so need to buy a new one, but will I be able to activate the windows xp home key that I have from the emachine, or can this not be done

any help appriciated thanks

Yes you are allowed to use your current license. As far as I know Microsoft usually allow 5 or 6 different hardware changes per license - so if the key code doesn't work again just give Microsoft a call and explain the situation - they *should* help you out.
