Update: I'm back and functional! Turns out it was not only a power supply issue (which was fixed when I got the new power supply) buuuttttt...(and this might help others in the future)

It was a very subtle looseness of the 20 bit connector that is the main source of power to the motherboard. Because that wasn't staying in all the way, nothing would turn on until I held it in and pressed the power button. Once one of the fans came on and I plugged in a monitor and saw that, I used a plastic chord to adjust the chord and keep it elevated so it would stay in.

So if your computer ever goes caput, check that cable!

I'm glad you got it figured out - and didn't have to replace the motherboard, to boot! Thumbsup

Yay! ^_^

A motherboard problem would still result in the power-supply fan kicking in, so I was sure it wasn't computer death!  Glad to hear it was just a loose cable, though not the one originally suspect Smile

Well, before, not even the power supply fan was coming on. Nothing. Zilch. Zip. Completely silent. No lights or anything. Even when the new one was in so people were convinced it was a motherboard deal until I happened to notice that cable.

Thanks to everyone who offered help Big Grin
