Advice on 4G router please

"Local Energy Advisor" spam calls

PC not starting
Hi, My dads PC isn't starting - I suspect it is probably the power supply unit, but wondered if there could be any other reasons ? I opened the box this afternoon and the light on the motherboard is on, but when I press the on button the processor fan gives a very brief stutter but nothing else happens. Thanks for any help.
