If nothing even lights up or no spinning noises it's impossible to begin anywhere with a diagnosis on a forum. It needs some knowledgeable person giving it a physical inspection to ascertain what actually works (if anything) and what doesn't. You may want to study this and work methodically through it:

Problems with eMachines can usually be traced back to the power supply.
More advanced problems with eMachines power supplies usually mean they've killed the board as well.

Ok so I was able to get the computer to finally come on. However now for some reason my keyboard will not work. I have a tried both a PS2 and USB keyboard and niether work. I have also went to device settings removed the keyboard and restarted to see if windows would automatically install the drivers again but I'm still having no luck. Also when I turn off the computer and turn it back on before windows loads it looks like the keyboard is going to work when I press the "Num Lock" key the light will go on and off and the same thing with "Caps Lock" key but once windows loads the key board stops working? I was hoping someone might be able to help me out. Thank You

If the power supply is failing it may not be giving enough power to run the keyboard.
However, if you keep using this machine with a suspect power supply you are risking the mother board!
Please follow the link that PIP22 gave you and work through this step by step.

It doesnt have a power supply problem. The machine is working fine except for the keyboard like I mentioned in my previous post. Do you have any suggestions for me as far as the keyboard goes? Thanks
