My guess is your power supply is fried. You shouldn't lose anything with replacement. Be sure the replacement matches the old one... same outputs,etc. You can go higher wattage but don't go lower.

Not familiar with repairs on computers.I would apreciate some advice on this repair.Its a 1999 model and its a generic brand.Thanks.
