Solution
it is a old machine so not only the psu can be dead

first begin opening the case and do a visual inspection of the mainboard itself, see if you see dead capacitors, do a search on googl to see how a dead capacitor looks like

then check if all the fans are spinning properly and clean the dust inside now that you have the case open

then remove the psu and search on internet how to test a psu, turn on a psu with one cable

if you have another psu, you can try that psu on that pc, if you know that the psu is good and pc refuses to turn on, your problem is more related to the mainboard and other parts than on the psu
