Do the fans work at all? Any light on the mb? If not sounds like a dead psu. CM and TT have had some bad psu's laterly. I would try for a Antec, Seasonic, Corsair, XFX, or PC Power and Cooling.

Touching "those pins" is not for the beginner, you would have been better to just connect the PWR BTN connector to the motherboard and then pushed the on/off button on the front of the PC.

If you saw a spark then you touched the wrong pins! it could be that you have blown or shorted a circuit on the motherboard. Any sparks means that you have done someting wrong, it's not like using the jumper cables on the car battery, you are not supposed to see SPARKS in the PC...!!!

,, just this month I have my PSU Thermaltake 730W SmartPower repaired after my rig completely stopped functioning at the middle of watching movie with the fans still working albeit with lower noise than usual and the LEDS showing up lights as well, I wasn't able to boot my PC successfully after virtually trying to swap all parts (luckily I have spares from processors to boards to mems to disks) and one thing important I was missing during those teeth-biting moments was the all-important boot sound such that I start to suspect the PSU as the likely culprit, so I swapped in the Antec Basiq 500 (acquired it at amazon secondhand) and voila, the short beep pops out and my PC was up and running again,, and at the service center, it shows that the psu provides very low power

@ziggie2nd : try switching psu and check for the BIOS boot queues

so @jnkweaver might be correct: the small-dented secondhand Antec works just fine while the Thermaltake one spends some warranty time,
