    I just fixed one a week ago with the same problem. Do you own a DVOM(digital volt ohm meter)? Measure the voltage of your power supply. You should be real close to 12 and 5 volts.

    Yank out all the cards but video and see if it boots. Do as Amro suggests and clear cmos as well.

    Check again to make sure the reset button is not stuck.

    Also check the bezel-to-MB wire connections. It's easy to plug them in wrong.

    reset button wire was pulled off motherboard to ensure it was not stuck....... bezel?? as in the power supply? or the hd lights, reset power.... etc.... it was tried with just the power one plugged in..... but they were all in the right spots anyway
