Don't know. What are your specs. How old is it?

If you have it working now you can install a lightweight program (Speccy) that will list your specs.

Old computers are like old people: they tend to grumble quite a lot.

Air cooled spectacles?

Sort of, a video card that will let me see my video games in better detail.

But you knew that.

Hhhmmm.... I wanted to add this to the "power supply" post but  I guess its locked. So Im working on an HP p6-2100 desktop. It is getting power because the green light in the back illuminates with no issue but the start/stop/power button is doing nothing. I tried changing out the CMOS battery already with no results. Am I going to have to actually change this button? What else can I look at? I barely remember how to add pic to these posts, lol, but I can get you what you need to advise.

PS The lady who owns it thinks, her then dying cats, pee may have dripped down on said power button and somehow shorted it out. For awhile she was able to jiggle it and get a response.

Does the fan on the power supply spin?

I've had on/off buttons stick. Snapping it got it unstuck.

Do you have a multimeter to check continuity on the switch?

Wow that video is exactly what I needed to see. Of course I have no experience with doing this but I think I can do it.

The fan doesnt spin now because its not turning on. Im sure when I get the stuff together to try the video Ill have a better answer.


I've had on/off buttons stick. Snapping it got it unstuck.--- Which means?

That's a pretty brutal way of testing the PSU. It could short it out for good and I'm not entirely sure how much it actually tells you. The fan could run and the PSU could still be faulty. A $10 multimeter would surely be a handy piece of kit to have laying around.

It's quite a useful thing to know, though.
