Broken Computer - Urgent
9 Answers
If anyone can help at all that would be great. My sisters computer has just died. It cut out when it was on, and there's no way it's going to start working again. I took the side panel off, and when you press the power button on the front a small orange light comes on on the motherboard - but absolutely nothing else happens. Apart from the orange light, it seems dead. Firstly, does anyone have any idea at all what the problem could be? Secondly, there are alot of important files on there...does it sound as though they may be able to be recovered?
