Pavilion elite power supply light on, won't power up

As you did not mention any message or display on the screen, I would use this tutorial for a step by step diagnostic. It also helps to remove the side panel, and visually watch the CPU and rear case fan movement(s). As you press the power button, pay attention to the fans. Also does the Power Supply LED stay ON? Or did it go OUT when you pressed the power button?

I would go back to the tutorial, and unplug the 20/24 pin motherboard and the 4 pin CPU motherboard plugs. The I would do the "Testing the power supply separately from the system" with the suggested paper clip. I suspect the PSU took a hit recently when you were away. This is possible if the power was still applied to the PSU.

The next step is to re-seat the memory (RAM) modules.

Do you have access to a spare power (PSU) supply?
It's perplexing that the PSU fan will spin when it's jumpered (as a test option), but the CPU and rear case fans show no movement when the PSU connections are applied.
