PC fried or fixable?

Question

So last night about 11:30 pm & we had a power outage.

THis morning my computer wouldn't turn back on. The light on the on buttone just keeps flashing whether I hold it down or not. I tried unplugging it too. Light STILL flashes?

DOn't know if my pc is fried or if there's something else I can try?

Answer 1

The power supply is probably fried, but as for everything else it's hard to say. Sometimes if the power supply gets fried like that, everything else is still ok. Get another power supply and test it out.

Answer 2

That doesn't sound healthy. You could try replacing the power supply, but in my experience a power surge can fry the motherboard and peripherals too. It's worth a shot though, they are cheap. I try to make it a point to unplug any electronics if there is a power outage. Make sure you get a UPS for the future, it's worth every penny.

Answer 3

im thinking ram or processor, , it cant be hard drive or anything or lose wire.

when the ram isnt in properably or gone the computer doesnt even start up.

it cant be the powersupply as your getting power.

processor similar to ram. try unplugging it for 10 minutes and take the ram out and bk in. also you may want to take the battery out for the motherboard for 10 minutes and place back in to clear bios :]. Good luck.

Answer 4

If it's a power supply, it's very fixable, about $40 but if it got to the motherboard, it's going to be a lot more costly.

Answer 5

Your RAM may have been blown up.
borrow ram from a friend to check out if you get the display(monitor on) back.
Else your hard disk might have crashed
But first check RAM and rest will be easily diagonised

Answer 6

its proboly just your powersupply. there not that exspensive if you do it yourself you can pick one up for around $20.00. Make sure you put it on a sure suppresor when you get it going again it will save you from problems like this.

Answer 7

Turn it off then on and reboot.
