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.
