My Gateway model GM5472 which is about five y/o won't start. It was running fine and I restarted it about a week ago. I shut it off this AM cause the power company was turning off elec. for some work today. Now I push the power button and get nothing. I plugged the power cord into another plug, and get a small plug in spark, like it sees a load, normal I think. I unplugged everything and did an ATX restart, meaning I unplugged everything and pushed the start button for 30 and 60 seconds and still get absolutely nothing. It was plugged in today, but I can't find a fuse, I'm sure there is one. I have carbonate backup, so no worries on data loss, but I'd hate to have to buy a new puter and software. Any suggestions? Thanks much.
