People like to complicate the troubleshooting a dead computer, but it really is easy when you use common sense and not over think the computer problem in front of you.

As a PC Repair tech for over thirty years, I once had a problem where none of the above helped. Not to belabor the solution, an online help response gave me the answer: REPLACE KEYBOARD. It WORKED, unbelievably! Holy Crap!

3:37 You have presented a lot of good information. An alternative for testing the power switch, I would recommend using a screwdriver to jumper the pins on the motherboard. It is usually the set next to the spacer. It is a lot quicker process, and usually finding a screwdriver is much easier than the standalone power cable that has been stored away.

Good vid Brian :) Back in the mid.late '70's when I started messing around with amplifiers/electronics the rule my dad taught me when you have a 'problem' was - always start with the Power Supply. Over the years it's saved me much time :)

Excellent, excellent video. Thanks. I wish I saw it 7 years ago and saved time, money and aggravation. Love your videos

Thanks for the video, but, I have to mention something about substitution testing that you didn't mention. As an ex-military aircraft tech, this is something that I have encountered. There could be a remote fault that is causing, say, a short circuit that is damaging a particular component. So, you swap out the suspect component, power up, and bang, the new component is also damaged by the same fault! That is the one drawback to substitution testing. I felt I ought to mention that.

As always, the BEST computer repair videos on YouTube. Where can I get the power switch you showed? Now, will you do one on a dead laptop? :-)

Before you go out and buy a new power supply grab your multimeter and measure to see if the voltage is good. Thanks for the video.

Nice tips, also with the older power units when they were full of dust the power just did not come on until you used a vacuum cleaner on it lol

[CaptmagiKono]

Power Supplies have always been the ones that fail first for me, the other was a fan failing and causing over-heating auto-shut downs or something of the sort.

Did the "Kitchen Tech" teach you all this? LoL!
Just kidding... Thanks for the video Brian. 👍

Some good tips especially when your PC dies and logic goes out of the window when entering panic mode 👍
Your out-tro regarding subscribing etc is very low on volume with your voice not sure if this is intentional to get us to listen more intently? 😁

Excellent video! Excellent and succinct explanations! :)

Brian, my PC came up with a disc error couple of times then a couple of days later it crashed and will not start up. I assume this is a bad hard disk? Also, my motherboard might have died too however, it's still for Windows 8. Should I also get a new motherboard while I'm at it?

[zzocozaa]

I can't give you "10" like's !!! Good Video !!!

Some motherboards are very particular about memory and the slot(s) in which it is installed. Checking the motherboard manual is very important.

I know experience when I see it. Great video.
