Dang, shut my big main computer off...
Was going to be gone for a couple of days, shut it down, it was doing updates when I left, and this morning it won't power on at all, as in dead.

Damn thats not good. Sorry to hear about that. I can't really offer you any constructive help. Oh by the way that same shit happened to me. I had to get the 14 year old from down the road to fix it. I don't know what he did but he got it up and running. Good Luck

Data is backed up, it's just the power supply. This will give me a chance to make it quieter. Some of the fans are almost hard to turn by hand.

Glad you have your stuff backed up, but scenarios like this are making a really good case for keeping my stuff on the cloud.

Shit, the power supply tests out ok on the bench. Now I have to tear into it. I built the thing four years ago but I did not want this today!

I think the fans drew too much current at startup and killed the 5V supply but its just a theory. Trying stuff.

Check the system board for any "over full" capacitors.

There is no battery! This is a desktop with four SATA drives and whatnot. I've narrowed it down, if you can say that, to:
Power Supply Motherboard Processor Sigh. I'm just going to build a new one and get everything upgraded. This is running XP and it is getting long in the tooth anyway. Looking back I probably built it in 2006. It was robust enough to last all this time. This is going to be a complete pain in the ass. |

That battery is just for mobo settings and the internal clock it will boot with no juice in it.
Try pulling the processor and resetting it with some new thermal paste on it. Unplug all of the drives and stuff hooked up to the mobo. See if you can get it to boot without all of those accessories. |

The mobo should have a CR2032 or similar flat battery. It's for the CMOS.
