PC won't turn on

[aj101202]

Guys please help, my previous working gaming PC that I was using earlier is now no longer powering on. 

The led next to the 24pin on the motherboard is still lit up and I can see the ethernet leds blinking away. 

I've tried re seating the cables 24 pin and 8 pin 

The power switch is still connected to the board 

 

Not sure what else to check

Update I have tried a different PSU but still absolutely nothing happens when I press the power button does this mean my motherboard is dead?

Do you have any way to check if the Power supply is still fully functional?

 

Just read your post. You could also try shorting out the pins on the mainboard itself that connect to the power button (Just pull the 2 Pin power button connector off and connect the 2 pins. Maybe your power button itself is broken or stuck.

I've just tried my system with an old known working power supply and exactly the same thing happens

Maybe far fetched, but do you have another CPU with the same socket or another mainboard to test?

If the power supply is fully functional it might be a shot CPU or Mainboard. Although If you say that most Lights on the mainbaord are still working, I would check if the CPU is working first. Maybe you have a friend with the same socket Mainboard you could test it in? (If you should do that, make sure to unplug his Operating System drive. Windows doesn't like CPU hot-swaps)

Took out the motherboard looks to be two what look like wet patches under where the vrms are. Is this a leaking capacitor?
