I unplugged my cpu while it..

KillingChris · 08-29-2009, 09:14 AM

About one week ago I unplugged my computer while it was running and did not try to turn it on untill the next morning. I tried multiple outlets in my room and nothing, nothing at all happens to my computer when I try to turn it on. Can someone tell me what has happend and how much the repair would cost?

I dont know much about computers so please try to explain as much as possible. Thanks!

Christopher.

and welcome to the Forum

When you turn it on, can you hear the fans start up?

thanks, and no. No lights, no fans no nothing. How much do you think this will cost?

Check the switch on the back of the power Supply ( where the power plugs in ) should have a O and | on it

I think I may be looking in the right stop, are you talkng about right below where the cord plugs into my computer? If so its red and it has the number 115 on it.

EDIT: i know what your talking about now becuase I googled the images and i do not have that power switch.. what should I do?

If you are sure the wall power is good, you can try a new power supply. Why did you unplug it?
