    accidently left socket on
    Do you mean power was still connected to the machine? ie; Machine wasn't unplugged?
    heard slight spark when pushing connector in
    Which "connector"?

    mouse and keyboard wouldn't work, i turned it off and restarted now no screen moniter says no signal
    These are indications of a bad motherboard. You could possibly have damaged the motherboard.

    tower was unplugged
    So NO power to the machine as it is unplugged.

    but power lead still plugged in
    Do you mean the bundled group of wires from the power supply (inside enclosure) to the motherboard main power connector? (20 or 24 pin)

    heard spark as pushed power lead back into tower
    This is the power cord from the house/room wall power outlet to the rear (outside) of the power supply?
