Desktop lightning won’t turn on

Was it connected to a surge protector?

Remove your ATX 24 power cable take a small wire or paperclip and short the green wire to ground if you look at a pinout it will tell you which is ground.

Many power supplies have a fuse internally that could be shot.

There is always a button on the power supply. Press that and see what happens. If your computer doesn't power then your power supply is bad.

If your talking about a reset no they don't for the most part they have a 115/230 switch or a power switch which doesn't function as a breaker.

To the person who sent me a photo of lightning. Thank you. I always wondered what lightning looked like.

To the person who asked if it was connected to a surge protector.
Yes it was. Lightning must have mutated to get around those pesky surge protectors

To the nice person who wanted me to short the green wire to a ground that sounds dangerous. I was going to have my hair dyed next week but sounds like I could save that 80 and go looking like Mark Twain or Don Brown or maybe my favorite Einstein.

I really just need to know if lightning takes out your computer and it acts like it has zero power is it worth attempting to take out the power supply or is there some reset button. It’s a Dell. Desktop.

If I change out the power supply and still nothing what next?
