Power Surge got my desktop computer

My desktop computer was plugged into a surge protector but we had a power surge at the house and it got the computer.
Now it won't turn on. Would replacing the power supply fix this or is their a bigger problem?

If the power supply tests as bad, replacing it would be the minimum and hopefully the only thing. Sometimes the lesser quality power supplies can bring other components to the grave with it.

Most of the better ones come with a protection damage guaranty. Might want to check into that.

Most power surge devices will take only one surge and then they no longer protect
Unless you have the expensive type
Power supply likely gone but I would now be concerned about motherboard and other components.
I trust you are doing a backup?
