Solve : PC power failure?

Answer»

I was using a Pc with Windows 7 when it shut down. Nothing happened when I pressed the front button to reboot. The power supply to the PCM is ok so it is some internal problem. I retried some hours later WITHOUT success. Temperature has been MILD so would not be causing overheating.Easiest thing to check is borrow a known good PSU of the same or greater wattage and swap it in there...
You'll know right away if that's the issue...
Were there storms in the AREA recently ?There were no storms. I gather the top would have to be taken off the computer to check out the PSU (power supply unit).Laptop or desktop ?
I forgot to ask...
If a laptop power down...unplug and remove the battery,,,wait 4 MINUTES and see if it powers up with just the A/C...It is a desk top with 240 v AC power inThen try the other method...swap in a known good one of the same or greater wattage...you can borrow one from a friend so that this test costs nothing.
