Computer will not power up.?

Question

I have a computer that just went through a slight move and may have been through a few shakes and minor bumps along the way.

The computer will not power up. I can plug it in and once I switch the power supply to on the motherboard light lights up indicating to me that it is recieving power however the switch does nothing. I have unhooked the switch and tried jump starting the computer by using the two naked wires and a screw driver to see if i could bring it to life but with no success. I have also pulled out the CMOS battery on the motherboard and had no luck after that as well. What should be my next step in diagnosis or what is this indicating?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. The computer is about 2years old excluding the primary hard drive that is probably around 4 years old.

All of the wires seem to be still connected, I have wiggled and made sure they are all pressed in all of the way. No fan or anything comes on. The only thing that lights up is the motherboard

Could be the power supply, try another one. If not, it could also be the motherboard. Test the power supply first.
