loss of power while turned on wouldn't normally have an adverse effect on the machine unless the power flickered before going off, then you can damage stuff. Same thing if the power doesn't come back on cleanly. Have you tried unplugging and plugging back in? Pulling the plug is the same as turning the power switch off as far as machines are concerned.

By vertical lines do you mean up and down on the screen?

Sounds like you're gonna have to put a cap kit in. Typically you get the thin line when the caps go.
(could be something else but caps is a good start IMO )

What Model MegaTouch do you have?...also what monitor?....this will help to diagnose common issues.

He stated vertical lines, plural. A horizontal line across the middle would be vertical collapse. A horizontal collapse would be a blank picture or possibly a white dot in the middle. If he's getting jail bars then he's got a whole differant problem, depends on if the bars are rolling or stationary
