Hello and thanks for taking time to read this. I posted a thread concerning my PSU was exploded because I change 230v to 115v. Yeah I made a mistake... I thought when I change it my computer will receive lower voltan than usual.. Im using DELL optiplex 745 mini tower. And yet after my psu exploded I became panic and turn it back to 230v and switch on and it blown again. I was so scared because the computer is a gift from my mother. After a while, i buy a new psu and replace it, now when I switch on my pc nothing happens only blinking orange light on the tower. does my capasitor need to be replaced ? or new motherboard ? thanks again. hope you can help me.. sorry english is not my native language..

Get close and smell the motherboard does it have like a burnt smell? If so it may be done for. You could try double checking you did not accidentally unplug a wire to the motherboard or that one is loose or that you may of forgotten to hook up a power cord to an important component just to be sure.
