Gateway G6-350 Not Powering On

[schwertz]

Have an out of warranty Gateway G6-350 that I am thinking has a power supply problem. Tried a different power cable, mouse, keyboard and monitor and moved to a known good outlet in another room. Has powered up once in the past day and someone inadvertently shut it down before I could run a diag. Otherwise, if I press the power button it shows no green power light. If I unplug power cord from back of PC and outlet, then plug back in to PC and back into outlet, the power light and HD light will both flash briefly for a second or two, and then nothing and no sound from the fan in power supply. If I press the power ON button, nothing I have not opened the box to check cables. Thanks for any ideas.

This is suspicion only. The flash of light indicates that the PS is capable of 5 volt. Acts like an ATX power supply and a probable bad wake up switch.
First is to verify that it is ATX. Power connector is dual row of connectors. If so, then there is 5 volt continuously on some portions of the MB. The power on switch on the front is a wakeup switch.
