I was cleaning my computer 2 days ago. Cleaning the inside and such. After I
finished cleaning, I plugged everything back in place but theres no power. My
computer has not been turned on for almost 48 hours. Its been stuck on Power
Save mode yet no power.(All electrical outlets are working.) Anyone know
whats the problem?

Check the lines that come from the power supply and should be plugged
into a couple of wide connectors on the edge of the motherboard
(IIRC). It sounds like one of both of them has become dislodged.

Also, don't forget to double-check the simple things: that the power
cable is plugged in to the wall on one end, and into the proper socket
on the computer case on the other, and check the path from the socket
to the power supply inside the case. There might also be a circuit
breaker or something like that inside the case that needs to be reset.
