Computer Gurus.....please help

I just built a computer two weeks ago and it has been working great. I tke it on the plane with me and it got banged up during transport. It looks as though the tower was dropped where the power supply is housed (it's a little bent in...also an optic drive and hard drive were slightly outta place). The mother board has a green light that is lit and the sound card is lit up. No other lights or anything else is working. The power supply does not turn on either.


So my questions are....
1. Can the power supply still power the mother board and nothing else since the sound card and mother board light is lit?
2. Could the power button on the tower be fucked since the box was obviously dropped?

Feel free to ask any other questions to help me out. I don't think there are any plugs undone.

FYI....
It's an ASUS P5E LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard ....
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 Yorkfield 2.66GHz.....
MSI NX8800GT 512M OC GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3........
Rosewill RX950-S-B 950W ATX 12V v2.2 & EPS 12V v2.91 NVIDIA SLI ATI CrossFire ....Apevia Tower.....Kingston RAM (which I took out and put back in)...

Please help

I removed and checked all of the power cables(there are a lot coming outta this power supply...
Jumping with a penny? Sounds dangerous....I push the power button and it sounds like there is something about to happen but nothing does.
I'm fucked. This computer is a bad ass too....best piece of computer shit I have ever owned.

My cousin told me to take a paper clip from the green wire to a black wire where it powers the mobo. He says it's only getting 5V from the sound of things and this will activate the 12V? Can you elaborate on that?

No... The button on your case, has little wires that plug onto motherboard remove that not anything from your power cupply. You know the power button on the front of the case. Remove this wire it can be any color make sure your pc is plugged in with the switch on the power supply in back set to on and then run the penny on these metal prongs this will eliminate the button on case being the issue.

this is what it should somewhat look like, colors may be different,

The lights on the motherboard are likely powered by the CMOS battery. Some power supplies have their own of/off button on the back. Triple check all the connections then try changing the power supply out.
