All in one desktop refuses to turn on.?

I believe the culprit to be the power supply assuming one thing that the initial power button light is turned on initially by the on board battery saying that basically you've pressed the power button. When the PSU then kicks in it activates all other equipment HDD lights etc.

As mentioned when I press the power button the power light comes on for 3-4 seconds then turns off. No sound is coming from the system which makes me think the PSU is not even turning on.

The problem occurred after a power cable was removed accidentally. I tried an adapter I know to be working in the system but still the same result which again leads me to believe its the PSU and not the cable is at fault.

My question is do you, by how its described arrive at a different conclusion?

Thanks for the advice.

    take a deep breath and try to relax. There's a good chance you can figure out exactly why your computer won't start and then get it back up and running.
