Hi Heidi: Sorry to hear about your computer problems; hope they're worked out soon. It will be interesting to see what mine turn out to be. Thank's for your comments. :) Hi Bob: I will have my son read your comments. Hopefully I will be back here again soon! Thank you for your suggestions and sticking with me. :)

Lisa, I know you are stateside...........(clever me......) and you have a different socket system to ours,(UK)but have you tried connecting something that works, table lamp or similar into the wall sockets? And then the power strip?...to prove that you actually have power available....... its a natural thing to want to go changing the expensive items first.........LOL Bob,(The Other one)

Update: Won't go into the boring details, but after doing a lot of running around, I found out my husband's co-worker's wife owns a computer repair shop. The computer is now there - apparently waiting for an ordered part - the power supply! Can't wait to see if that's all that's wrong. Thank you all for your help. :) PS Bob, I am going to check the power strip - still wondering if that's what started it all, as both computers aren't working.

Could it have been some kind of Power Surge, do you have a surge protector extension, what has the weather been like lately, any thunderstorms etc

Hi Stephanie: I believe we have a surge protector. I will positively make sure before I plug the computer back in, though! :) We had a lot of rainy weather, but no thunderstorms during those two days. Thank you for your help, Stephanie.
