One (or more) of the electrolytic capacitors in your PSU has died.
Remove the power cord, wait for 2 hours, open the PSU and look carefully for the candidate(s) with the domed head. Healthy ones are perfectly flat on the head.
Order a new one and replace it.
I did a paperclip test, PSU seems fine.
What did you do?
What did you expect?
What did you observe?
I followed someone else's instructions. Expected putting a paperclip in in and plugging it in/turning it on would cause the fan to start up. It did.

Fan in PSU started up fine, apparently this is a sign that the PSU is not dead. Fan does not turn on when connected to the motherboard, which supports the theory that the PSU isn't the issue.
