Aurora R12, not turning on
My R12 won't turn on. I powered it off the night before, and everything was working fine. Tried powering on in the morning, and it won't turn on at all. I just hear the click from the psu, but nothing turns on. I tried the built-in self-test for the PSU. The light does not come on. So, I disassembled the PC and disconnected everything from the motherboard, and I did the test again; still, nothing. I would assume the PSU needs to be replaced.

Yes clicking sounds like psu has a short circuit and an internal contactor/fuse trying to protect psu. If psu failed bist it needs to be replaced

You can try a few basic checks first. Disconnect the power cable and hold the power button for about 20 seconds to fully drain residual power. Then reconnect only the power cable and try turning it on again. If there is still no response, remove and reseat the RAM and graphics card. If the PSU does not spin or show any lights after this, the power supply is likely faulty and may need replacement.

Yes, I believe it needs a PSU replacement; any suggestions for a new PSU? Was considering a Corsair RM1000x.

@user_23af36 Thanks for the update.
If the PSU was already replaced and the system still does not power on, it could be a motherboard or power button issue.
Make sure all power cables are firmly connected and try a different wall outlet.
If there are no lights or fans at all, the board may not be getting power.
At this point, hardware inspection is usually needed.
