Well if your adventerous you can unplug all the internal devices in the
computer from the PS. Once all your components are unplugged from the
PS, short the GREEN wire to any of the BLACK wires on the big 20-odd pin
connector on the PS - this is the same as hitting the power button. If
the supply starts then you know either
a) your motherboard is dead
b) the supply can no longer handle operating under load and will not
start when plugged into computer your devices

Pretty sure he got it going again.
Oddly all he needed to do was unplug it and plug it back in.

It happens often with desktop power supplies. Unplugging it for a while allows the capacitors to dissipate their charge. I've seen it many many times before, people would have their computers at home and it won't work, they unplug it, bring it in, and when it gets to the tech bench, its now working fine because it was unplugged long enough.
