Solution
You can try googling "the paper clip test" to test your psu. If that is working, you can find where your power button is connected to your mobo. There should be 2 pins, usually named something like pwr 1 and pwr2. Touch something like the end of a screwdriver to both of them at the same time and see if it turn on. Power button is usually not the issue, but an easy one to eliminate
