Fried Computer

No, this is not a recipe. After a lightning storm last night my monitor is not lighting up and none of the lights on the back of the computer are on. The on/off button is glowing yellow instead of green and turning the power off and on does nothing. The computer and other devices were connected to a power strip. What would be the next step in diagnosing what happened to this thing? Dell Dimension 4300.

    You need to repost on the General Hardware section as this is not a "networking" issue.
     
    Also when you repost, list the status of the diagnostic lights on the back.  They will give you a good indication of what may be bad.
     
    Also, since you've had a lightning strike the surge protector power strip is no good and will need to be replaced.
