Power supplies do go bad... you can buy ATX PSU testers pretty cheap that will let you know if your PSU is bad. Do you notice any lights on, like your ethernet link lights? Any thing that would indicate any power reaching your motherboard?
Just in case your power button is bad, look for the PWR cables from your button to your motherboard, pull it off and take a flathead screwdriver and stick it across both pins. That will be the same as pushing the button by creating the jumper connection.
Also try plugging your computer into a different outlet... if on a power strip make sure that the power strip is turned on or check and see if it has blown it's fuse.

Power supply failure is quite common. I've had two in the last few years.
Just unplug your PC (making note of where all the wires will need to go when you replace them), Now take your CPU down to your computer repair shop but get a price FIRST. Power supplies cost about $25 and installation takes 15 minutes so your total bill shouild total about $40 or less. Shop around by phone might be a good idea.

if there's no power going to the internal power supply then check the simple things first: you turned it on at the wall? the fuse in the plug is OK?

if you not getting power in you wont get power out.
I think you mean to say you get no output from power supply, computer power supplies needs to have a load on it to work, check the fuse and power switch to make sure they are both working,

Is it absolutely dead? Then:
1] try another socket - & plug in something else to test.
2] check the fuse in the plug
3] borrow another cable temporarily.
Try all these before worrying about your PSU

take out the potential supply and put in a sparkling. one.... its no longer no longer undemanding in any respect. in basic terms unplug each and every thing linked to the potential supply and confirm the hot supply reconnects with each and every thing.
