Sounds like the power supply burned out, not an infrequent thing,
especially if it is an older computer. The good news is that they
are fairly inexpensive and easy to replace. The bad news is that you
will have to figure out what type you need. Between all of our
collective wisdom here, we can probably figure it out. The big
variables are case type and mother board model.
