Answer» I am kinda computer illiterate. I forgot to shut down the computer before I pulled out the power line. Now I can 't reboot the computer. Please, any tips to fix the computer would be very much appreciated.When you start your computer, do you see anything at all? If not, try the following: On the back of your computer, there should (in some cases) be a little black switch near the place where the power cable goes in. Flip it back one way, then the other. Now try starting your computer If there is no switch, try unplugging the computers power. If these do not help, it brings the conclusion that the power bar you are using has a power surge protector.

Flip it back one way, then the other. Now try starting your computer

If there is no switch, try unplugging the computers power.

If these do not help, it brings the conclusion that the power bar you are using has a power surge protector. Switch the unit off, and then back on, and PRESS any "Reset" button it may have.
