[Gllug] Computer won't turn on

[david at gbenet.com]

Well you want to sniff - breath in in the area of the power supply to
the unit. It could be that you experienced a power surge. If you keep
turning it on and off you will fry your motherboard.

To test - dismantle and put each component into a new box and test.

And next time get surge protection.
