turn off the psu
un-plug it even from the a/c
wait about 3 min's
turn it back on
do the trick shorting the start button's
if it come's on ? to bios
go to bios advanced setup
find the power option
turn it to  >turn back on after power faulier<
save/exit
shut psu off at its switch
or un-plug
then turn it back on
the unit should power right back up
if not remove bios battery
and wait about a min or 2
place batt back in
and do a full cmos setup >cmos=bios<

So when you trip the power contacts on the mobo does anything happen? (CPU fan turn, PSU fans turn, any noises?)
Defiantly try the mentioned above.

So I grabbed my iFixIt screwdriver set and removed the battery. Hit the jumpers and all works well now. I started up and shut down a few times to make sure. So glad I don't have a defective product. Thank you all for your help. Next step is a hard drive. Almost done with the software setup via virtualbox on my mac. I'll then make a bootable image and copy it onto the mame computer.

glad to hear its working. I've had the issue before, I found more often than not, the bios was set to recover after a power failure. Consider looking into that in the bios settings.
