Mini won't power up

Hi, I noticed that my mini stopped half way through a print and the controller was dark. I checked all the connections (internal + external) and everything appears proper but the mini won't power back up. Any suggestions? A google search didn't reveal anything relevant. 

Thanks!

Check the Power Supply Plug is firmly inserted, then check the power going into the Mini...

Thanks Joan. Confirming that all connections to/from PS are secure. However, could someone tell me if there is a power indicator on the PS? It looks like perhaps there is one but it's not lighting up on mine. Perhaps a sign of a faulty PS (or cord I suppose)?

Is your USB stick inserted when you try to boot? If yes, try removing it. If it then boots, throw away the USB stick and replace with a different one.

Hi 3dk. Thank you for the suggestion. I just tried booting with/without the USB but unfortunately the mini does not boot. My suspicion is a faulty power supply. If someone could please let me know if there is a power indicator light on the power supply?

I just got off chat with Prusa Support and it sounds like a faulty power supply. I'll update once the new one arrives.

Hi Tycho, 

I just looked at my power supply. The Mini is alongside several pieces of equipment but I’m pretty sure its transformer is showing a blue light. It is bright enough to see easily. Bad luck that you have a failed power supply but hopefully the replacement will arrive shortly.
