Do you reckon that's it?? The psu I mean.

It's when the pc power button is depressed that the green light on the psu goes out. The fan doesn't even attempt to start, and there is nothing at all from the mb. I will google the signs of capacitor failure tonight, but I didn't notice anything untoward last night.
