That suggests theres some power coming from the psu but doesn't mean it producing enough power to power up the pc. Check all cables, maybe reseat the gpu and test hardware.

Whats your pc spec ?

What happened before this? Did you just build it, or did it work before? Have you changed anything?

It may not be ths cause but If you value the rest of your components i would advise you to change it.

You changed case and it hasn't powered on since then?

Then I'd be double-checking:
- 24 and 4/8 pin power connectors plugged in firmly (I often run a fingernail around the point where they seat, to check they're fully connected)
- front panel connectors (especially the power button, obviously)
- that you didn't accidentally leave the psu turned off at rear of PSU
- that there's nothing underneath the board (screws, cables) that's causing a short
- that there's nothing pressing against the back panel, especially if you have a clear CMOS button or anything like that on the rear
- everything (RAM, graphics card) is firmly seated
- the cooler is not excessively tightly fitted

It's still garbage.
For start it's 500W PSU at best.
Assuming you can trust anything in sticker, which is big leap of faith at same level to trusting rich people aiming for good of ordinary people.

It's way below this:

Well it’s worked fine for me for over a year and I don’t have the money to replace it
