Unplugged Computer

Usually, the fans will spin up, but it won't POST. Our solution is to pull the power cord, press the power button with the computer unplugged, then plug it in and turn it on. It seems more common with Gateway brand PCs than the Dells or HPs that we have around. Does anybody know what pressing the power button does when the computer is unplugged?

Theoretically, a computer doesn't need to be unplugged. However, there are some advantages to doing so from time to time. The biggest advantage is that it reduces wear and tear on the components, which could extend the life of your computer. This is especially true for external drives and peripherals such as printers and scanners.

My psu seems ok because the light on the motherboard lights up yellow, my power button also seems ok try to jumper it with a flathead screwdriver but still wont turn on.

See if you get something from the computer. If so, one at a time, start adding the components back in. I would add the RAM first one stick at a time, then the hard drive, then the graphics card. If you add something that causes the computer to not boot, then you found the point of failure.
