It's a 350 watt PS. When I plug it in, and it's not connected to anything it doesn't seem to fire up. Shouldn't the fan turn on even though it is not connected to any computer peripherals? I hooked it up first to a computer and it didn't fire up the computer, but then there is a possibility the MB is fried. However, I'm not sure about this. The computer went out in a storm, there was odor, but the MB doesn't have any burn spots anywhere. Thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Thanks, BuddyB

Jump to PostNo, a power supply will not turn on unless it is conected to a functioning motherboard. It is very possible that your motherboard could be damaged. They rarely show visual signs.
Jump to PostWith lightening strikes most system motherboards and ram fries! This is one for the insurance company I am afraid.
