I'm happy to say that there is nothing melted that I could see....

Does it do anything when you press the power button? Does it chirp, squeak, squawk, act like it's trying to come on? Or does absolutely nothing happen when you press the switch?

And is it plugged in?

And is your power back on?

if you dont already have them i would invest in them power bars that come with a guarentee if fry the product that you get it replaced by them. up to $10,000 i think is the fee they can pay you.

you would have to register the powerbar ... apc or something i think they are...and are under $40.

No insurance, yes, my power is back on, yes it's plugged in (smartass,.,,LOL), when I turn it on, I hear the fan, but nothing else.

Thats a good idea, Faery.. I had it plugged into a surge protector power strip, but as someone pointed out to me, when the lightning strike is that close, it can overwhelm the damned things.

Those guarantees cover the cost of the equipment connected to them, not the protective equipment themselves. In my case, I was able to fix my computer so there is no claim. The UPS is expendable as far as its manufacturer is concerned. It gave it's life in the service of protecting the equipment.

Now, I may be able to have a claim against the power utility because its installed lightning arrestor did not reset itself fast enough between strikes. Granted, 30 seconds isn't a long time for such a device to drain off the charge from the first strike, so my case may be bumping up against the "act of God" clause in the contract. But, it's still worth a shot.

The UPS was not an inexpensive device. It was capable of powering not only my tower, but my entire home entertainment system (amps, monitor, DVD player, etc.) as well for thirty minutes with everything turned on. Luckily, the only thing connected to it at the time was the tower.

Ah well. I am sorry to hear that the puters are not so happy. I hope that they get glad again soon!

It might be something like a fuse is blown inside the power supply. Or it might be a bit more extensive than that. Do you have anyone around you that you trust to take a look?

I haven't owned a non-Mac PC in about ten years, so I wouldn't even know where to begin to look as far as troubleshooting goes. If you need a temporary loaner, Thor is available, but he's a Mac.
