Hello!

I have an older computer laying around and all of a sudden it won't start. I press the power button and none of the fans turn on, not even the psu one, but the power led lights up. What could be the problem? I think that the psu might be the problem
 
Solution
Yeah, I encountered it many times and 90% was PSU. Other causes may be bad or corroded contacts, star button etc. so maybe you should check all of them. You should also unplug disks and other parts like GPU because they can make trouble too.

I tried unplugging all the disks and the GPU and it was the same like before. Moreover, I started the pc manually by making the contact between the motherboard pins and it was still the same. :D
