Fix it.

Disassemble and reassemble. If no luck, find out what component is broken and replace that.

Psu+mobo+cpu/hsf....nothing else connected.
Put a piece of cardboard under the mobo so that it's isolated from the case.
Locate the 2 pins on the mobo that the power switch was connected.
Short them for about 1 second.
If it still won't turn on your down to 3 parts.
