I recently purchased a supposedly broken computer from a couple. When i got home and plugged it in it still worked. I took it apart to see what a computer looked like on the inside. When i was finally done and had put it back together and i tried to turn it on all that would happen was the little tink that you usually hear when you first turn it on, the screen stays black and the power on button stays orange. I can hear the fan and what i think is the hard drive running. If i turn it on the fan and the hard drive continue to run until i unplug it from the wall. I have tried leaving it on hoping that they were like ipods and just needed time to boot up again because the hard drive had been taken out but that didn't work. I have tried taking it back apart again and making sure that all the cables were connected good and that i didn't leave one unplugged and everything looks good but the problem proceeds. I really want to get this computer running so that i can mess around with it. If you think that you know the solution to this problem please tell me. I am desperate
