Last night we had storms in Okla City during which I had an emergency and left home leaving my pc on - which I normally don't do. When I returned home several hours later, my pc was off and the power button was "dead". I checked all the obvious things, like checking the power strip, checking if the power cord was connected, and went to bed thinking "new pc" time (this one is 4 years old). However, this morning, on another pc, I found the video below - how simple it was to fix my pc. I just unplugged the power source at the back of the pc, punched the power button on the front for about 15 seconds, re-plugged the power cord at the back, and walla - when I punched the power button on the front again, the pc booted up! Just wanted to share with other users - considering this is the time of year for storms, lightning, etc. Needless to say, I am a happy camper this morning. Hope it helps someone else
