Hi all,
My b-in-law keeps his PC is powered on all the time. He woke up this morning and the blue light around the power button was flashing. He got scared, decided it needed to be shut off, tried hitting the power button (but most likely didn't hold it long enough to shut off) so he pulled the plug. :S Now the PC doesn't show any signs of life anymore. I replaced the PSU with an old one I had lying around to see if that was the problem and when i push the power button nothing happens. But there is a little green light that is lit on the mobo when the PSU is plugged in. Any ideas what the problem could be? And how to fix it? The 2nd PSU could be dead too, i'm not sure since i haven't used it in years.
Thanks.
