Test the power supply<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A computer that is completely dead and was working the day before is likely to have a problem with the power supply. The power supply is responsible for providing power to all of the components in the computer, so if it is not working properly, the computer will not turn on.<\/p>\n<p>To test the power supply, you can use a multimeter to measure the voltage output of the power supply. The voltage output should be within the specifications of the computer&#8217;s power supply. If the voltage output is not within the specifications, the power supply needs to be replaced.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some brief explanations of the other options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option B: Replacing the CMOS battery is not likely to fix a problem with a computer that is completely dead. The CMOS battery is a small battery that stores the BIOS settings.
