ok, so my friend's house was hit by lighting and the computer wouldn't turn back on. so he bought a new one and gave me the broken one. i dont know if its the power supply or the motherboard or what, but i opened it up and when i plug it in a LED on the motherboard lights up (if thats any help). and there is a very quiet hum inside the power supply.
so if you guys could please tell me what i should do to fix it that would be great, and im not to good with computers. thank you
 
The only way to know for sure is to swap hardware. Try the MoBo with another PSU and vice-versa.

Id say PSU

As everyone else has said, probably your PSU but that does not mean that the PSU didnt take out other componants when it blew.

Best bet would be to go to computer store with a good return policy and get a new PSU to try on the system. Worse comes to worse you can return it.
