Hello,
The AIO that my wife now uses is not 'turning on'. I've checked the power lead and also plugged directly into the wall socket rather than athe surge protected extension. The only thing I can see is the light by the on/off button that blinks about every three seconds when I continuously hold the on button. Seems to me that maybe the power unit or maybe motherboard has failed.
It was bought from PC Specialist in 2016 but has now obviously run out of the three year warranty.
I'm looking for advice on what the likely cost would be to resolve/repair if I decided to return it to PCS, or am I better to just accept that it's a 6 year old PC and get a replacement? Many thanks, Roger
