Remove the power cable for few minutes and try again. If it doesn't work, reset bios using the jumper for example.
Else it might be psu or motherboard....

# Find the 3-pin jumper near the power supply on the motherboard, typically labeled "clear cmos" or "reset bios".
# Remove the jumper from the default position (typically connecting the 1st and 2nd pins).
# Replace the jumper to connect the 2nd and 3rd pins.
# Push the power button on the front of your PC once.
# Wait a minute.
# Return the jumper to its default position, connecting the 1st and 2nd pins.

OR

Just remove the battery for 1 or more minutes!

Do not forget to turn power off before touch your pc.

You can try with both. I usually do the remove battery trick, it's easier!

Check your motherboard manual, they explain how to do a bios reset using the jumpers!

There's no reason to reset bios, if the board isn't getting any electricity...

Try 'coldboot' your pc like this (not just turning it off & on)

1. Unplug PSU
2. Wait for ~10minutes
3. Plug PSU back
4. Boot.

Last time my pc didn't turn on, even with the unplug power cable for few minutes trick didn't work! I had to do a bios reset to get it working (weird? hell yeah, i didn't change anything at bios before it stop working)...
