Help :(

So, I finally got the desktop but after two times it no longer turns on.

First I had a problem with the wireless adapter... but once I got that one installed properly it did turn on. Then after that I bumped it a little while trying to get it under my desk and it now no longer turns on.

I don't know if anyone can help me while not looking at the actual thing but thought I'd try anyway. If I can avoid sending it back that would be the best... I don't want to pay to ship it back and wait another two weeks as they don't do any cross shipping... I actually need the computer for work (which is piling up nicely).

The computer is not working or the wireless adapter?

Sounds like your power cable is loose. Check all of your connections to make sure they're firm. If that doesn't work, you might try a different power cable. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you that won't void your warranty.

I've made sure that any connecting wires are connected... the ones that were connected in the first place anyway.

I thought something inside the PSU was loose but when I went to open it there was a sticker that said it'll void the warranty so that idea went out the window.

I mean the PSU can't actually burn out after 3 power ups right...? Each "on" time didn't even last 5 min.

That doesn't seem likely, but sometimes things DO fail for no apparent reason.

Yeah, so do some people but anyway...

Contemplating which is better... sending it back or just going to a local computer shop... :/

I'd contact the maker first and see what they're willing to offer you or do for you. Sometimes shit happens x.x and hopefully if thats the case, they're willing to help you out.

We got a free HD wallmounted TV for complaining that we hadnt got an e-mail back in 2 weeks when you're meant to get one in one week.

Yeah I'll see if they'll do anything.

Though I read in their reviews that iBUYPOWER support really sucks. =/

I've also heard they have high quality PCs.
