Emachines computer won't turn on

the moniter, printer, and speakers will all turn on (and are plugged into the same power supply) but the computer wont turn on. I know that you're going to tell me that Emachines are cheap, but does anyone have an idea of what went wrong and if the computer can be fixed. I really dont want to loose my itunes.

Update:

is there any way that i can see if the motherboard and power supply are blown without taking it into a computer repair shop?

    eMachines are notorious for having bad power supplies. I've put a link below to a message board where people are discussing your problem. The fix could be as simple as replacing the power supply, but sometimes a bad power supply will destroy the mother board. You should Google your exact eMachines model to see what people are saying about it.

    I used to own an eMachines that failed to turn on one day. I had my files backed up; so I just bought a new Dell.

    Good luck!
