I unplugged my computer while it was on and it doesn't turn on anymore.

Basically what the title says. I hit the plug on accident and it came out and now my computer won't even turn on. Do I need to buy a new computer?

 

[carter11]

The power cord is super loose.

 

[carter11]

So I need to buy a new psu and reconnect everything? :/

The power cord is super loose.

The power cord is super loose.

What do you mean super loose?

What is super loose exactly?

What cord?

PSU cord or power strip cord going into the wall?

 

[carter11]

Where to cord connect directly to the computer.

Where to cord connect directly to the computer.

So push it back in, as far as it will go.
If it is still 'loose', then you've physically damaged it.

That's not good.

You don't happen to have another PSU cord around do you?

 

[carter11]

Maybe it got damaged in shipping because it was like that from day one. How long will it take to install a new PSU?

 

[carter11]

No, would that be the only problem?

 

[carter11]

If I can get a new cord would that fix it?

Not long.

You built the PC so you should be fine.

All you are doing is replacing the PSU.

Normally it's like 5 mins depending on cable management.

That can only be determined if we know what the problem actually is....the cable or the PSU.
Can you give us some good clear pictures of this?

 

[carter11]

Thank you! Which one do you recommend buying?

Pictures would be good at this point.

My phone is dead right now, once it is back I'll give you some.

 

[carter11]

Let me use my older phone, one second.

Well, I see no obvious 'damage'.
Turn that power button OFF
Push the cable all the way in
Turn the button back on
Push the power button on the front of the case.

What happens?

And the power strip is ON and known to be not broken?
Plug something else into that power strip...does it work?
