You did not say what country you were in :-)
Several things may have happened, as they can when you move things
around.
A PS failure that is simply a conicidance. You may have dropped a
screw onto the mobo, when removing one of these slot covers.
It's time to play swap game. If you can, swap the CPU, remove all
RAM and add one at a time, rotating them.
When there's a boot problem it's normally CPU, RAM or Video bd, but
depending on BIOS, you should get some beeps.

You do not need HD to run - set BIOS to boot from floppy, or CD-Rom.
To get at the BIOS, look at the screen when you start to boot -
it'sll give you the key to press: F10 or something.
If you get nothing on screen at all, your mobo may be bad, PS, CPU or
vid board.

You should hear it, if it does :-) No need messing with the hearing
aid.
