it was the CPU fan. the computer should still turn on with or without the fan though, shouldn't it?

i replaced the fan on my wife's computer. when she plugged it back in
it wouldn't turn on.

i didn't touch anything else besides the fan.

any ideas or suggestions as to where i might start debugging?

how can you test to see if your power supply is fried?

What fan did you replace? Power-supply fan, cpu fan, case fan?
If you replaced the cpu fan, you may not have seated the processor properly,
especially if it is a slot 1 (not a pin grid, but a slot). Try reseating
it. Make sure all cards and memory are properly seated too.
If you replaced a case fan, you may have bumped the processor, memory, or
other cards, try reseating them. You may have plugged the wire for the fan
onto the wrong pins, double check that.
If you replaced the powersupply fan, . . . eh, I'll assume you didn't pull
apart the supply case and replace the fan.

Also check that you didn't accidentally dislodge the power wires to the
mother board from the power supply.

My bet is the cpu is not properly seated.
