PC Won't turn on!

[m0ttz]

Ok,

So I went to turn my Desktop PC on earlier today, and when I hit the power button nothing turns on. I hear no fans, see no indicator lights, no nothing. The rocker switch on the back of the PSU is in the on position, and the power cord is plugged in.

The only sort of light I see is the slot where I plug my Ethernet cord is plugged in ONLY when the power bar is turned on.

I haven't used the desktop PC since Saturday and it was working fine then. I also use a surge protector so I doubt there been an electrical surge. I also turn the surge protector/power bar off when I'm not using the PC so its not like there is any power going into it.

I've also opened up the PC, checked for loose connections, blown everything with compressed air to ensure no dust build up.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Unplug your power cable and that NIC cable for about 15 minutes then try it again.

Check the top of your capacitors around the processor and make sure none have leaked or blown.

All my capacitors have their tops on and no leaks. I've also tried taking the cords to my power button up and connecting the two power pins on my mother board then powering my PC. Still nothing though :\ I'm thinking its my PSU.

I'd point to the PSU also since no fans are working...got a volt meter?

Nope I don't. I might pick one up from school tomorrow though, or better yet just unplug my PSU and bring it into school. However, which of the two holes on my PSU do I have to use in order to test my voltages?
