I can't turn the system back on. I tried a new power cord, plugged into a different power bar...

Hi Everyone, I have a Presario 1240 that was on loan to someone and was returned dead. It is possible that it was accidentally plugged into the wrong power supply (the supply from a printer was returned with it instead of the Presario supply). I've disassembled it in hopes of finding a...
