I'm building my mother in law a PC for Xmas......all she does is play solitaire, surf and email. I got a cheap case with a cheap power supply ( I know, my bad ) and when I plugged it in the power supply started to smoke. Nothing turned on, not the fans or anything. All I saw was a light where the network cable was.
I went to Comp USA and bought a new 400 watt power supply and installed it. When I turn it on I get nothing, the fan in the power supply doesn't even rotate. How can I test to see if the new power supply is good and it's not the switch on the cheap case?
