Take both cdrom and cdwriter out of the pc.
Pc should still manage to power up.
If it doesn't and you don't get anything on the screen when you switch it on the power supply may be faulty.
Check all other plugs especially the one from the power supply to the main board is fully home. Sounds like a connector has come out.
