Question Unable to get PC to work

[ThatTonybo]

I bought an eMachines EL1352 off a friend. They said no warranty or refunds, and mentioned it was working, which sounded fine, it had some nice specs and all I needed was a basic testing machine. However, I got it home, plugged it in and no luck.

The PC's green light comes on, and I can see fans spinning through the case, but that's it. Nothing comes up on screen, the monitor detects no signal, and I can't get any power on the keyboard or mouse.

Can anyone help out here? I've replaced the CMOS battery with one I know is working from an existing PC to make sure, but other than that it's not modified at all.

Have you tried reseating ram yet?

They said no warranty or refunds...Usually a bad sign , computer not functional.

Yeah, I tried new ram too. They sold it to me with only one ram chip in it, but it was literally brand new Ripjaws memory, so I didn't think it was an issue.

Mostly what I thought as well once I actually bought it, teaches me a lesson to not believe "it's working" without proof.
