Yes brand new psu in its original wrapping. But no activity from the computer.

What is the "power switch connector "? There were 2 power plugs connected to the motherboard, one long oblong one, and a small one of four pins. Is it one of those two please?

I'd been having problems with the psu, arcing, not working unless plug removed and replaced, so I assumed that the psu had died. Today shows it wasn't the psu! Not even the monitor shows that it's connected, just says no signal.
