At this point, you'll likely to have to try it with another PSU. There's a distinct possibility you fried something in your PC, the main ATX connector is *not* supposed to need wiggling to work and is *not* supposed to be going in and out of the connector while the PC is running. This was something that should have been taken care of when the problem arose and you may have made the situation much worse by not doing so last month.
