Perhaps not, might just be your PSU ? You could try and test the PSU without connecting it (bridge the green and black wires I think, but google it to make sure

) At least that will eliminate the PSU. Have you tried disconnecting the DVD-RW drive and then try powering on the computer (or am I just being dumb

) Good luck

could be your power supply ( check the fuse in the plug). are you getting anything i.e. fans spinning on cpu?
