Very strange. I've opened the PSU and checked the voltages again and this time I got 5.5V instead of the 4.8 from before. I also checked for continuity of the 12V rail and it was gone as well. I've found a video showing that you can simulate the power-on signal by bridging the 5V and...

Additional info: PSU does deliver 5V (well it's closer to 4.8V), so I decided to try and see what happens when I just plug in the 5V (without the 12V connected) and it's the exact same thing. Red light for a fraction of a second and it's off again. So that should mean there's something wrong on...
