We moved overseas from the US and we mistakenly plugged our PC into a 220v outlet rather than one of the 110v outlets. I heard a pop and that was it. NO POWER!
I've been told that i may be able to recover use of it by possibly removing the motherboard and putting it into another PC.
Does any one have any workable solution to this?
Sound to me like all you need is a new power supply. You should be able to find one online.
The power supply should have taken all the jolt and not the motherboard.
If you need help finding a power supply let me know, usually they are pretty generic, but you may have to get one from HP.
I hope that I have provided the correct information that will assist you in the resolution of this issue. If you have any questions, please post back with a comment to this thread.

You can look at the Hardware/Software Manual for your system here:

This is HP's part's surfer:

This link is for your particular Model No.

This is the actual power supply from HP, although it might be pricey through them:

The main thing is, if you can find a pc supply store in your area, this is what you need to tell them:
That you need an ATX power supply, yours only requires 200watts, however, you'll find a hard time finding one with that low wattage. It's okay to purchase a 350W or higher power supply (PSU for short) but the main thing you need to specify is that it has 24 pin connector and a 4 pin connector for the CPU. (It may or may not be used) The power supply should look like this:

The industry has tried to standardize power supplies, so most should fit in your existing case. You don't need a PSU for SATA power, you need to make sure you tell them that you need 7 or 8 Mollex 4 pin connectors.
If you need further clarification, please check back with me. Best Regards...Jerry
One last thing I forgot to mention, it's okay to plug in any power supply to either 110v or 220v so as long as you switch it to the proper power rating on the back of the power suppoly. You'll notice there's a red switch near where the cord plugs in. One direction it'll say 110v the other 220 volts. Good luck!

Thank you so much!
Can you elaborate on where i might buy a new power supply? And what kind i need?
Give me a half an hour to research your desktop so that I can answer your question as accurately as possible.
More than likely what popped was your power supply. There's a good chance that your motherboard and components maybe fine. You need to try and replace your power supply with one of same type.
