Aurora R5, wont turn on but test button and fans work

Question

My Alienware Gaming Aurora R5 with i7-6700 will no longer turn on with the power button. I've tried different outlets as well as draining the power and attempting to reset but nothing seems to work. The power supply button does light up green when pressed and activate the fans as usual but even after looking through older posts I can’t get it to turn on.

try a Dell BIST of psu.

if psu is good,

replace CMOs battery w a new one then clear CMOs by motherboard jumper.
