Computer shut down & won't turn on

My husband was on the computer two days ago when it just shut down....now he can't turn it back on. He says there is a little green light on in the back...but nothing happens when he pushes the power button. We don't have a warrenty and neither of us no a thing about computers. Does it sound at all fixable??? Would appreciate any advice...Thanks:)

The little green light is probably your network card. It sounds like the power supply went out. Make sure to get a P4 compatable power supply as they have different voltages than the standard ones. It isn't a big deal,or hard to replace.

One more question:) My husband just told me that before it shut down completely...it had shut down and he had been able to restart it once. Could this still be the power supply??? Thanks!
