I put together a new build around July this year and it has been working great with no issues. It was working last night, I sat watching Netflix on it and then shut it down as usual. This morning I pressed the power button and absolutely nothing, no beeps, flashes, bangs, puffs of smoke, just nothing.
I'm pretty sure it is my BeQuiet PurePower 12M 1000w PSU. I tried my old PSU (XFX XTR 7 or 800w) in my new build and all the lights came on as they should. I tried a jumper check in both PSUs, on the old PSU the fan spins up, on the new PSU nothing. Is there anything else I could do to ensure it's definitely the PSU, is it worth picking up a PSU tester to be absolutely sure?
 
if you've done the jumper test (paperclip test) and the bequiet psu doesn't spin up then its kaput. no point buying a psu tester
just rma it
