[SOLVED] PC Won't Turn On. Components OK

[Yanez]

Hello all,
I have stumbled upon the following problem and hopefully someone here can help me out.
My desktop (ATX) PC, all of a sudden, stopped turning on. I moved the PSU cable and heard a small spark which caused my apartment electricity to shut down, causing me to flick the general electric adapter switch in the apartment. The PC does not turn on; the PSU does not turn on, no fan and no beeps from motherboard.


1. I took the PSU, a Rosewill 600W 80 PLUS Gold certified PSU, to a PC shop and they tested it with some sort of jumper and it seemed to be ok, everything was in order. Just to make sure, I still tried a different PSU, but still, the PC did not turn on, nothing again, no fan, no beeps. So in conclusion, I figure the PSU isn’t the problem.

2. Motherboard: I thought my MSI H110M had fried, so I actually bought a replacement of the same model, but still nothing. I even tried the alternative PSU on the new motherboard. So in conclusion, I figure the motherboard is just fine (and I bought it for no reason).

3. Other components: I figure if it was CPU, the motherboard would beep (?) and maybe even a fan would turn on? Same for RAM. I removed the graphics card on all these tests.

Could the Front Panel be faulty? Any ideas?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Specs? , and that Rosewill PSU is a piece of junk.

About the PSU, maybe it is, I didnt know at the time. However, it seems to be working fine and i tried a different PSU and it also did not work.

UPDATE

I jump started the PC with a screwdriver on the Power cable and it turned on fine. I will now (once again) switch everything to the original motherboard. Now the question would be, how the hell do i fix that? replace the cable? or the front PC panel?

Thank you

So you're saying the power button doesn't work? Is the cable from the power button connected to the correct front panel motherboard pins (you'll need to look in your motherboard manual)?

If it is connected correctly and doesn't work, but jump starting using a screw driver on the power button pins on your motherboard does work, try using the reset button (if your case has one). To do this, connect the reset button cable coming from the front panel to the power button pins on your motherboard and use the reset button as your power on switch.

I tested the PSU, the motherboard, but it was the damn button all along. I moved the rest to the power one and now everything is fine. Better yet, I was allowed to return the motherboard

Depending on the age of your case, maybe they will warranty it and send out a new front panel.

I'm glad it's working, but a little confused. It sounds like the motherboard is fine, the issue is with the power button on your case (or maybe the cable(s) from the power button to the front panel headers on your motherboard). Why would you want to return your motherboard?

Ah sorry, I didnt explain myself well.

Thinking it was the motherboard (the problem) I bought and purchased a new motherboard. Since the problem wasnt the motherboard, I was allowed to return it.
