COMPUTER HELP PLEASE ASAP?
Okay so I accidentally turned off the power bar thingy ( the thing with the row of plug-in things) and turned off my mom's computer. When I switched it back to on, everything works- her printer, her monitor, everything- except for the computer itself.
I REALLY need to fix this ASAP! She has all our business' information on that computer and we NEED it!!!!!!!!!! Please help me!!
I've tried the on button (obviously) There's no on switch on the back of her computer.
I've tried replugging the power bar into another outlet, I've tried unplugging the computer itself from the power bar, I've held the power button on the front of her computer, I've turned the power bar on and off again, I'VE TTRIED EVERYTHING.

F**K I NEED HELP WITH THIS

probably short circuited the wiring you need a professional to fix that

If there is a thing on the back of the computer that looks like a button but doesn't act like a switch that could be a fuse holder. If that is what it is, the top unscrews like the top of a small bottle. There will be a fuse in there and it could be burned out. Replace the fuse. This is a shot in the dark because some of my computers have had that and others not.



Try unplugging everything from the CPU then push and hold the power button, as if turning it on, for 10 seconds. On some computers this will discharge any remaining charge in the computer. Then connect the monitor, keyboard and mouse to the computer and then plug in the power cord for the CPU. Now try and turn the computer on.



If this doesn't work, you will likely need to get the computer serviced professionally.

To be honest, I don't have a clue how to fix your computer, but, if it comes to it, you can probably salvage the hard drive (if it isn't corrupted) that has all of the work files on it. This answer probably sucks, but at least it's an option.
