Is there a way to test for power without touching a wire?

What should I do if my power supply does not turn on?
If the power supply does not turn on at all, double check your pins (after unplugging) and try again. If it still does not turn on, then it is most likely dead.

What to do when power goes out in a room?
Remove the 2 screws that hold the outlet in place. Pull out the outlet carefully and check to see if all wires are connected.
