refuses to power up.....
-check if the power button is connected correctly to the motherboard
-try doing the the paper clip trick to see if the PSU boots on its own : http://www.duxcw.com/faq/ps/ps4.htm

checked the front switch and its all connected with no loose or brocken wires between it and the mother board. how ususal is it for a PSU to break this early,it only been three weeks and it was working smoothly.gona try that paper clip idea thats for the link.

Your power supply actually might be broken. Power supplies fail in two ways: sudden death and slowly over time. When they die suddenly, the computer will not start and the fan in the power supply will not turn. If this is the case replace your power supply.
