Question pc stopped working, need advice

[Arvin Seyedi]

I have a CyberPowerpc that I have been using for the last 2 years. The pc was working fine up until this morning. I turned it on and it was working fine, but I left for 30 min to have breakfast and when I came back and turned it on, my pc would turn on but my monitor, mouse, and keyboard wouldn't respond. The monitor shows an orange light indicating that it is powered, but it keeps saying it has no connection. I have all the wires in and everything seems to be where it's supposed to be, my mouse and keyboard are plugged in, but won't work at all. I plugged them into my laptop and my mouse and keyboard works fine.

Even the power button didn't work when I hold it for over a minute nothing happened for it to turn off, so I unplugged the pc. I turned it back on a few minutes later and the same thing happened. Any advice?

Unplug the pc from the wall. Remove the battery from the motherboard for at least 15 minutes so any residual electricity is discharged from motherboard. Then replace the battery, plug in to wall and try to restart the computer. Let me know what happens.

what does the battery look like? and how do I take it out?

 

[Fix_that_Glitch]

It will look like a watch battery. Round silver coin looking. With computer off and unplugged it should pop out easily.

can't find anything that looks like it on the motherboard, it's a gigabtye motherboard

Try borrowing another power supply.

Yes, check power supply. When I've worked on those in the past, they and many other PC big box builders seem to cut corners on power supplies and put cheap lower quality units in them unfortunately.
