I have a computer I was gonna try to fix . Although I did build my own
computer and all is well I still want to make sure that I am not over
looking something with this one.
They said it just locked up one day. That restarted it and nothing. No power
............. it's as if it is not even plugged up. Hit the power button and
you get nothing. I put an old power supply on it and still nothing. Don't
think it's the motherboard cause it would still get a power flow of some
sort. Even tried a new power cable.............. so....... what do you out
there think.

The first thing might be to check if the power outlet to which the
computer is connected is functioning. It's possible that there was an
overload that tripped a safety system like the main circuit breakers or
the ground fault interrupters (GFI) on certain electrical outlets.

It has been tried on more than one outlet.

Bad connection from the power switch to the power supply.

Is the power switch on the power supply itself turned on?
