Perhaps you should try hooking it up to your telly.
You've confirmed that there is power going into it.
It could be a simple matter of LED's not working for whatever reason.
I'm sure you can spare 20 minutes of your life to hook it up.

hi gmb m8

If all connections and fuses, adapter plugs etc are good, then it looks like a psu board fault or it needs jtagged, if when you switch box on at back you hear a little chirp sound this is a sign that it needs jtagged.

JoK all i get is a click when u turn the switch on at the back
