iMac won't start

My first generation iMac just won't start. My husband tried plugging the machine in again and pushing the cables and it started, but then went off. Is there an easy way to check the power supply components? I imagine it is a fault with the cable or incoming power parts as yesterday it worked fine. I'd appreciate any help as I don't want to take it for repair if it isn't necessary. Thanks

www.theimac.com should have most of the info you need.
