Came back from lectures today with a nasty surprise. There was a burning smell emanating from my PSU (it's a Hiper 580W). When I switch the PSU on the CPU fan starts spinning and the LED on the motherboard lights up. The motherboard is an Asus A8N-E. Nothing happens if I press the computer power button.
I have no spare parts available to test it so is there any way to figure out what the damage is? I take it the PSU is fried, but I want to know if the motherboard has been taken with it. Does what I describe suggest it has? I can see this being a very expensive day
