    My granddaughter has been given a Compaq Deskpro EN (I think its a 115model)
    I've checked it all, installed some industry standard memory as well as the HD from her old machine and all seems OK. BUT!
    How do I switch the darned thing on?
    I have the manual and I can't see it anywhere in the technical stuff, no pointer on the image of the layour or any of the schematics. I can see LED s alight on the M/board.
    Am I barmy or what???

    i remember i used to have an old pc that layed down flat, and there was no power button on the front. check the back for a black switch thats what i had. it almost looks like the power switch for a power supply only bigger, and of coarse push all the buttons on the front haha. But if you see led's lit on the mother board, isn't the computer already on?
