Check to see if the power supply is fried.

In this order:
Check power cable and see if it is plugged in still
Check to make sure the power switch on the power supply is in the on position
If yours has a fuse check it

If those are fine then you might have fried a component of some sort.

And that is for a computer problem.

For your neon computer pull the ground and check the wires for connection to your computer. (just in case that is what you were looking for since your post is in the 2gn discussion.

Yeah I was thinking which one also!

Fuse 10, 21 in the PDC, if '00 and '01 are the same. Prolly.

So what are the symptoms?

Does it turn with the starter, just not firing up?

How do you know there isn't any voltage going to the PCM?

If you key on three times, does the odometer do anything?

man that sucks. good luck

Without voltage to your ecu, your car should still be able to start, it will just immediately stall out.

So are we talking about a home PC or the car?

How could it start, if there is no signal to the coil/injectors?
edit:
And yeah what BRR said.

Well that was my personal experience with it. When my ecu ground was a little loose, basically unplugged, from the core support after changing my headlights. It turned over, had a few fires, then stalled out. That's what it sounded like anyway

Well that's a little different than no (+) voltage input. It still may have been grounding partially though the case/sensor grounds.
What I'm sort of curious about now is if you remve the two fuses, if there would be any readout on the odometer, other than possibly FUSE.

Yeah that's true, I often forget about automotive grounding through mounting bolts etc. Meh, its not worth speculating more about it till he gives us more info.

^^yep need more info...I still don't know if we are talking car or pc lol

New PCMs or a bunch of money.
