How to diagnose a dead computer

When a computer is dead or it won't power on, there may be a number of reasons. In this article I will discuss how to identify the problem if your computer won't turn on.

Power Cables

Make sure that your computer is properly plugged in the appropriate power outlet. A computer may look dead if the power cables are loose or the outlet itself is loose. Check your connections then try switching the computer on
again.

Then try to make sure that your computer is plugged to the appropriate power rating. If your computer is rated 220 volts, plug it in a 220 outlet. If it is 110 volts put it in a 110. Plugging it in a wrong rating will cause damage and add even more problems

Also check the wires if they are not damaged. Sometimes they suddenly get damaged. One cause is rats. They tend to chomp on anything. Or if they are moved often, the wires tend to be grounded. This is more common on thinner wires.
