I have this emachine that want startup. the fans on the inside runs when i hookup another power supply but i can't get any video out of the system. for that matter i'm not sure if the processor or ram is shock. I'm thinkin the Tower got struck by lighting or suffered a power surge. And idess of what could have happened and how to fix it would be useful.
