A few days ago, my PC was working perfectly at home until a storm hit. Now, it won't turn on at all. Interestingly, every time I take it to the repair shop, it works fine there. They checked it and even suggested a cleaning, but when I bring it back home, it refuses to turn on again. I've tried plugging it into different outlets and even used my brother's setup, which is working, but still no luck with mine. I'm starting to wonder if the problem could be related to my home electricity, even though my brother's PC is functioning without issues. I'm planning to ask my neighbors if I can plug my PC into their outlets to see if it helps.

It sounds like your PSU might be showing signs of failing, especially since it behaves well at the repair shop. But since your brother's PC works fine, the issue could be related to voltage fluctuations at home. Consider investing in an AVR or a UPS to protect against any electrical issues.
Have you checked if other devices work when plugged into the same outlet as your PC? Also, does your PC respond when you connect it to your brother's outlet? It could help narrow down if it's the outlet or something with the PC itself.
Just thinking out loud here, but have you tried using a different power cable? I've had that happen before. It might seem like a long shot, but sometimes cables can become faulty! Also, using a UPS can help combat power fluctuations.
Is your setup a desktop or portable? Knowing this can help give better advice.
