First I wanted to say thanks (yet again ) for the help in http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1433928 that thread. Got the new router, and my network is up and running again
But now I'm having ANOTHER problem, of course right? My Dell Dimension 4550 that I bought back in 2003 will NOT power on. It's been working fine for all these years (It's actually a pretty fast computer if all you need is the internet, media sharing, etc) but since I shut it down a few days ago when my router died and the network stopped working, it won't turn on.
I press the power button, nothing. Something must be working because the ethernet port is lit up.. I even tried switching power cords. Do you guys know what I should try and check for first? I know how to get in and take apart and put together my new computer but when it comes to my Dell, I have no idea WTF to do with this thing heh. I've only opened it up a few times in the past.. and that was just to clean it out (It collects dust like a lint trap!).
I really love this old PC and would be so sad if it was finally dead I use every day for various tasks.. it's nice having two computers to work on
Any ideas? It's just weird because it worked perfectly fine until I left it off for those few days
