PC won't boot

Comment:

ComPaq Presario S4200 S4200 NX. I had some type of virus, taking over my PC, 100% CPU usage in background. cannot shutdown. I pull power cord instead of holding down start button. Now, PC won't boot. I wonder whether I damage power unit since there is no fan, nothing. Any suggestion

Perhaps the on/off switch on the power supply got put on off? make sure you unplug the power cable from the power, securely fit the supply end into the power supply then connect to the outlet. If no go you most likely blew a fuse in the ps. safer just to replace it. Golly gee wilerkers everyone! Learn to Internet Search
