Sounds like your PSU's fried. Could be motherboard as well.

I'd switch out the PSU. If that doesn't work..well, any surge that's gonna mess up anything more than the PSU is probably going to mess up the whole system.

it should run of of batter itf it was only the psu, if it didnt then there has been some damage inside the pc, my guess is its not worth fixing it as it will cost alot (thats only if it is the mobo)
