Hello all,

    I was recently asked to looked at a friend's PC that was apparently
struck by lightning.  Also attached to the power-strip (Not
surge-protector) is a monitor and a printer.  Neither one of these
devices was damaged. However, the HP computer has no power what so ever,
after pressing the power button.  I've tried changing the power cable
and the outlet without success.  Also, I didn't notice or smell any
burnt components after opening the case.  Could someone tell me a step
by step logical process for trouble-shooting such an issue.   Thanks
