Hi Mark, Chuck and all the others who offered advice, Many many thanks.
I have had it all apart including the power supply unit itself. (And not a skinned knuckle... yet... !) There looked nothing amiss on the MoBo but the fuse had blown in the power supply so I put in a borrowed unit and the machine burst into life. I cannot see anything physically damaged on the power supply so it looks like a job for someone a little more advanced than me. I understand old fashioned rectifier power supplies but not switch mode versions! Anyone know of anywhere in the U.K. where I could get a unit?
