[SOLVED] Pulled power cord during boots process. Now will no longer start

[zared619]

Yes, I know I was dumb. I was testing an old cpu fan for power. Plugged in the faulty fan, powered machine on. Case fans turned on, cpu fan did not (as expected). I then pulled the power cord instead of waiting. Re-installed the good cpu fan and now the system no longer turns on. It's as if there's no power to anything. Fans don't turn on and it doesn't POST

With the system unplugged try hitting the power button. Then plug it in and hit the power button a couple of times.

I'll give this a try, but what exactly is that supposed to do?

Empty the capacitors on the motherboard. As well as reset the switch button press on the motherboard.
