I heard some sparking in my cabinet, probably from my PSU, and it went off. After re-plugging, I witness the lights of keyboard and mouse turning up but nothing happens when I press the power button. I thought that the power button would've sparked so I tried turning it on without it, but failed. My LEDs and fans won't light up, it's just the mouse and keyboard. Thanks.

Yeah so how can I judge that? Because Mouse and Keyboard are working I guess motherboard's alright. Now I cannot turn up LEDs and Fans. It may just be the insufficient supply of power?

Just because there are lights on the mouse and kbd does NOT mean the motherboard is 'working'.

How can you test? Put in a different, known good PSU and see what happens.

It does not start. That's miserable.

Roger that, if that's the only way out.

Yes, it does sound like there are more serious problems inside that case.
What make/model PSU was it?

It's a 6 year old PC, I hardly remember now. But I have a clue that it's around 350W.
