Here's my story

I left my apartment for a week (spring break) and before I left, I unplugged the power cable to my computer.

When I came back (today), I plugged the power cable back into the PSU but the PSU light wouldn't even come up. So my computer wouldn't start! :eek:

What could've caused this?

Just to check all bases, did you turn off the power strip, surge protector, or UPS as well? Did you flip the power switch on the PSU as well? Stupid questions, but sometimes these are the answers, I know stupid situations like these has happened to me before. You come back from something and you have your mind set on something and get really irratated when it just wont work and ignore the obvious solutions.

Live with room mates? Can be prank, last year we went inside and unplugged the big 24pin connector from his motherboard as a joke. I would check all obvious situations.
 
Yeah I live with 2 roommates haha but if the PSU light doesn't even come on when I plug it in, then the problem must not be any other disconnected cables correct?

I had the power cable connect directly from the wall outlet to the PSU

You don't have a UPS or power strip?

Maybe someone else can clarify this but if a surge comes through your outlets, does the charge still hold there until discharged?
