I need some help. My desktop pc died after 4+ years of use and I don't want to shell out $500+ to get a new one. I know I'll have to replace things but I want to salvage as much as I can.

The problem is that the pc doesn't come on at all. Fans don't start, no lights, doesn't get to the BIOS. I put in a new power supply and it worked for a day but now it's having the same problem. It's a hp p6-2143w if that matters, pic related. How do I fix it?

Power Supply needs replaced.

It's taken too much damage from running non-free software. Buy a new computer and install Gentoo.

I've worked on a similar model before and you're probably going to have to replace the motherboard.

You can't. It obviously killed itself so it wouldn't have to play shit games.

>>57829063
It's ancient crap from 2012. You'll have a hard time just finding replacement parts. tl;dr you're fucked.

Could be bad motherboard. That can always be replaced but you may need to rework the front panel power switch/LED connectors to get them to work. Tedious, but doable.

No doubt the Power supply is dead OP so just get another.

you should be able to salvage all of it.
Be wared how ever some HP's have HP ONLY Power supplies that you can only be bought at HP.
however if its the pic you uplatded you should be able to just get any PSU as long as it matchs the power of your old own one or above it.

Far as I know, no HP since the late 90s has had a proprietary pinout on their PSU connectors. Their late 2000's workstation models did have proprietary sized power supplies, but pleb shit like this is probably all standard off the shelf stuff.

>pic related
I'm using that PC right now
