Power supply tester's are available (Antec makes one) for less than 20.00-
cheaper than a power supply.

No, the power supply fan not working is not a sure indicator that the power
supply is the problem. If the unit is not being commanded to turn on, it
won't. That command comes motherboard.

Try disconnecting ATX cable, removing the battery (considered replacing)-
this will clear the CMOS. Check the motherboard for bad capacitors (bulged,
leaking, discolored). Test the power supply (get a tester that checks under
a load).
