wouldnt the op be better starting right at the very first most obvious culprit and work from there?

go to the power outlet... pull the plug............check fues / wires etc.

then check cable to see if power is travelling along it.

then power supply fuse inside that..

then onto the switch etc etc

My comment was with regard to using the screwdriver tip, as a
replacement for the switch. You can use the reset and power
switches interchangeably, which means no dangers from the
screwdriver tip hitting something else.

On some motherboards, there is a green LED connected to +5VSB.
Seeing a LED like that glowing, tells you a bunch of stuff is
OK.

Looking at the Abit manual for NF7-S, there are two LEDs near
the panel header. LED1 is labeled 5VSB and should glow as soon
as the switch on the back of the computer is turned on.
LED2 is connected to +5V, and that one lights when the computer
is receiving the rest of the rails, typically after pressing
the power button. If neither LED glows, then I'd spend some more
"quality time" with the PSU.
