need computer help!
« on: April 04, 2005 - 04:57:59 PM »
Anyone know alot about computers?  Last friday we had some bad storms come through.  My house was struck by lighting and now my home computer will not turn on.  When I push the power button there is nothing.  :dontknow:   Is it fried? Or can it be fixed?  I had to wait to get to work today to get my cc.com fix.   :laughing:

71'cuda340,
On the back of the machine where the main power plugs in, is there a black on/off rocker switch?
Flip it to the opposite position, press your main power button.
If no go, flip the switch back and try again.
Try this a few times.
Alternately, somtimes unplugging the main cord and plugging it back in does it to.
If it was plugged into a power bar, eliminate it temporarily to see if that is damaged.
Other than that it is likely the power supply in the pc.

There is no other buttons other than the power button,  and anything else I plug into the outlet gets power.  I guess I'll take it to a computer repair shop and see what they say.  Thanks anyway.   But now I can only visit here from work.  :'(
