well, i have a pc upstairs and it hassnt been used in about 2 months
and i goto turn it on today....and nope, nothing.
so i check the back and where the plug is, if i pull it out and put it back in the green light (on the bak) lights up and then goes off

any ideas?

Check the plug, wiring and the battery.

already checked them, all okay, and the noise it makes wen pluggin in the plug is like the electric shock sound off movies

Does your Power-Supply have a cut power switch?

To be honest with you I would take this PC in to a technician who is A+ certified. It sounds like your Power Supply is going or the outlet you are connecting it to, and in that case you don't want to start a house fire.

Just take it in and say when you connect the cord to the power supply it makes a shock noise and they can test it out for you.

I am A+ certified

I think you should try to buy a new one and put that in. Does not sound good that it's making noise...

Be sure the new one is powerfull enough to power your computer and that it has enough connectors.

maybe there was a power surge that destroyed the powersupply

once a power supply burnt out my modem.

Once a powersupply burned my motherboard which burned the whole computer, I had about $ 1000 of loss.

doubt it was a surge cos i hav a surge protector

Have you tried plugging the computer into a differnet outlet (I mean not the surge protector or the outlet that the surge protector's in, but an outlet somewhere else in the house)?
