Dead PC

So I received a desktop computer last night but it isn't working at all. It's not turning on. There is no fan spin nor signs of life other than a small sound if a flip the switch at the back off which indicates that at least some power is being transmitted through the port. Any advice on how to fix or what could be the problem?

 

I don't know the specs of the machine. I just got it with no other information. (It was free.)

Probably needs a new power supply.

Have you opened it up and checked the connections inside?
