I had an issue where the Power Button gave no error lights and nothing would work, power clearing the box did not help. I finally tried holding the power supply test button in and hit the power button at the same time and it turned on and ran like a champ.
I am having the same issue. my old 7010 Optix will start if I hold in the power button and the power supply test button. It will then start for a while just hitting the power button. If I let it sit overnight it will no longer start unless I hit both buttons again at the same time. I can hear a ticking sound in the speakers when pushing just the power button. Unhooking the speakers does not change anything. Went through unhooking different components and trying to start no change. The test button starts the fan and I get a green light. Thought I would ask. Power supply issues or Mother board? Brand new Cmos battery. Thanks

If your spare psu is verified working (not just turning on by itself by jumping pins w paper clip, but powering on another motherboard to POST in a different pc), then consider replacing 7010 MB.
used MB inexpensive on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/393576936312?epid=1963693678&hash=item5ba3037378:g:OIoAAOSwhBdhQ4Cm

If CMOs battery is already replaced w a brand new cr2032, try clear CMOs settings by resetting RTCRST jumper on motherboard.

Do you have a spare working 24/4 pin psu from any old desktop to test 7010 motherboard?

Well, I guess it's the MB. Power button would bring PS on. I jumpered PS to bring it on, but nothing from MB.

Are you testing this using the spare working psu or original stock psu?

A spare. I just looked at previous reply. It should have read: power button would NOT bring PS on.
