Question: where do i start troubleshooting my computer for a fried motherboard?

Rainy:The pictures have nothing to do with the content!!
i knew better, but i tried connecting a rs-232 cable to my serial port without shutting down the computer, and i couldn’t get the device working, so i unplugged it, and when that happened, the computer died. i’m not getting any power to the motherboard, but i’m not sure if that’s just because the motherboard is fried. is it possible that i fried the power supply? is it likely that i fried just the motherboard, or the cpu as well? should i test the power supply first? i need help. thanks.

plug in the PC, don’t have to turn it on; most all motherboards have an LED on it that light up if they are getting power, if it lights up and it doesn’t boot, it could be the Mother Board. If the light does not light up I would start with the power supply.
