Hi @delanmatt,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.
If your HP Pavilion Wave Desktop 600-a1 is not turning on when you press the power switch, here are some troubleshooting steps to identify and possibly resolve the issue:
1. Check the Power Supply
- Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the desktop and a functioning power outlet.
- Test the power outlet by plugging in another device to ensure it's delivering power.
2. Inspect the Power Adapter (if applicable)
- If the Pavilion Wave uses an external power adapter, check the adapter for damage, such as frayed wires or a damaged plug.
- If possible, test with another compatible power adapter.
3. Look for Power Indicators
- Check if any lights (on the power button or elsewhere on the device) turn on when you press the power button or connect the device to power.
- Listen for sounds such as fans spinning or hard drive activity.
4. Reset the Power Supply
- Disconnect the power cord and any peripherals.
- Hold the power button down for 15–20 seconds to discharge any residual power.
- Reconnect the power cord and try turning it on again.
5. Inspect the Power Button
- Examine the power button for any physical damage or obstructions.
- If the power button feels stuck or unresponsive, it might need to be repaired or replaced.
6. Check for Internal Issues
- If you're comfortable opening the desktop, ensure all internal connections (e.g., motherboard power cables) are secure.
- Look for any signs of damage, such as burnt components or loose wires.
