Moved to Troubleshooting.

 

If the system is not powering on through the power switch pins on the motherboard, something might be preventing it from turning on, such as an improperly connected power connector.

Change the power button out or either use the reset switch as the power button instead if your case has one.

They've stated that using the screwdriver on the Power Switch doesn't work either.

If a spark came from another plug, it could be fried. Did you disconnect anything from the motherboard while the system was live?

Did you happen to have shocked the board with static electricity?
