I'm really panicing right now.
I had over 2000$ in my offline wallet (Multibit) on my PC and it won't turn on. What should I do??

First of all calm down and be relax.
I think you are not able to connect to peers , try checking your firewall.

if you could specify what exactly you are getting as error then i could help you.Pm me if you want some personal help.

The pc will not turn on or the wallet ?

If the pc does to turn on you can simply take out the harddisk and connect it to another pc to access the wallet!

It's not the wallet that is the problem, it's the computer itself, it won't turn on. :(

Will this work?? No conflict(s) or anything else that can happen`??

You are not lost just take off the harddisk if you have the possibility connect it to another pc (as second hdd) and you will be able to access the wallet!

Does the pc not turn on at all?

Any signs like fan moving etc?  

If you connect it as second harddisk there will be no problem, but if you are worried wait for a few more suggestions!

calm down , it is a silly problem.
You can get back your data easily , what type of PC you use old(serial cable one) or compact type(New Type)?
You can take out your hard disk and switch it in other cpu and then try copying the wallet data from that hard disk and then save it in new PC , and your problem is solved.

Ok I will try open it up and connect the hardisk to another PC.

The PC doesn't turn on at all, I even used it today, everything worked just fine. I really care more about my Bitcoin wallet than I do for my PC :(

He only need to do this if the pc is very old.

But i bet he have sata harddisk so not need to select anything the bios will reconize it..

@op i can help you via skype step by step

I realize that you don't want to hear this, and that it doesn't help you right now, but for anyone else that might be reading this thread I just wanted to point out that this is why you should create a backup of your wallet and store it in a secure place.

I assume you are not using MultiBit-HD?  If you are, then you should have been presented with a list of recovery words (probably called "wallet words" by MultiBit-HD) when you created the wallet, and you can completely recover your wallet with that list of words.

You didn't answer below, but what kind of PC is this? Some generic Windows machine? Mac? What OS?  What exactly does it do when you try to turn it on? Absolutely nothing? Beep? Fans?

If you are running a Mac, you can use target disk mode 

The odds are (as others have said) that you can recover it.

Thank you everyone so much for helping me! I managed (with some help) to turn the PC on from inside of the PC and send my Bitcoins to a online wallet. :)
