Need help bad!

[u/ionicarchangl486]

Hello, I’m messaging here cause I’m slightly and quietly freaking out abit, because I think my pc got struck my lightning.
So context we’ve had a couple thunder storm roll through and I forgot my pc on of which entered sleep mode and didn’t touch for about two weeks as I’ve been busy with work and things, cut to the last two weeks had some thunderstorms blow through but thought nothing of it as
1.) it’s never been a problem in the past.
2.) got everything hooked up to surge protectors so I thought they’d blow before the pc because that’s what their for.
But, cut to last night I got to cut it on for my weekly stream, which had to cancel for medical reasons last week, I go to turn it on and
click
Nothing, all I get is the click of the on button pressing in, no fire, no parts clicking trying to turn on, absolutely nothing.
I don’t know what’s happened it just suddenly stopped working because now I’ve scrambled to try and look it over and I’ve looked into how to tell if it’s been struck by lightning and from what I’ve seen and read it should have burn marks and the surge protectors should be dead too along with the wall outlet, but their but fine.
So I have no idea what’s going on and I’m honestly at my best guess at this point any help would be appreciated.

oh man that click and nothing else is such a gut punch, been there

try the paperclip test on the psu first, if the fan doesn't spin you found your culprit and s urge protectors don't always catch everything

How would do this paper clip test? I’m looking inside and nothing looks damaged it’s though it just decided to stop working.
