I was on the internet last night and suddenly, without warning, the computer went off. It may be my imagination, but I thought that I heard a click, perhaps a very quiet pop. It may have just been me clicking the keyboard. My computer is completely dead: no lights, no …

I used it last night just fine. No power surges or storms, it just won't turn on! The only thing that turns on is the little green light below where the power cord connects, I'm assuming that's indicating that there is nothing wrong with the power cord. Please help me!!!
