The button is working as before. The relay is clicking is as before. Just the main power and fans are not starting after the relay clicking.

Did you measure the battery voltage?
Anything below 3V, even 2.95, is suspicious.

I would still put my money on a bad capacitor in the PSU.

The problem is you probably need to disassemble the whole thing to reach the PSU.

Personally, in your situation, I would simply declare it broken and let the company do what they do with broken stuff. Unfortunate if it get destroyed  :-\

Ok at least behaviour is consistent.

A bad mobo cap will send the PSU into instant shutdown or there's a bad cap in the PSU.

This would be also my assumption. I kinda hoped that someone here would have observed the exact same behavior, repaired it successfully and could give feedback how much effort it was.

Ten years ago, this would have been a valid plan. Today, this will leave me with no scope or a much worse scope "borrowed" from somewhere. But I definitely wouldn't get a new scope or even a comparable one at my bench. Actually, it's rather clear that sooner or later I won't have my own bench anymore next to my desk but need to share it with colleagues who come to the office only once a week or so.
Sad times for engineering.
