Power Problem

Computer won't start. No fans, no lamps. Checked AC power source - OK. Started to blow dust from boards and suddenly it started when I pressed the power button. Then, I shut it down and it woudn't start again. Computer has been subject to dusty, salty atmosphere near ocean. Any thoughts as to where I should look for the problem will be appreciated.

    Salt will start to tear down the circuits (highly corrosive stuff) in your computer. Climate control for the room your computer is in, might help. I don't know if that's your problem but salt is really not good for it. Dust is just as bad as it will build up heat, sort of like insulating the cuircuts and not let the cool down needed for you computers curcuits.
