Faulty 620W Corsair HX Series !

[No.72]

I recently bought a 620W Corsair HX Series psu from scan, and the long story short is that it doesn't work. I am 100% sure all of my components are compatible with the psu before buying.
The story go's like this;
I connected every thing to all of my components minus two fans.
I then turned the power on and it worked (this is with all other external cabels
not plugged in eg. monitor cable)
I then removed the power lead and turned the power switch to off on the psu, I then pressed the pc switch to remove excess current from the pc.
I then followed this by connecting the two fan power connectors.
I then reconnected the back power lead to the psu and turned the switch on the psu on.
I then try'ed to turn the pc on but nothing!

I am sure all connectors were plugged in correctly (I checked several times)

PS. when I have the psu switch turned to on there is a constant ticking!
when I press the pc switch the ticking stops but pc does not start.
I find this very bizarre, as at first every thing worked but then suddenly not.
I have made sure all power connectors were connected properly.

Ok cheers DavidM
I was wondering if there have been any common cases of this psu being faulty.
Anyone?

I was going to post about Corsair are made by Seasonic (as you may know) and that Seasonic did have problems with the S12 (and also the NeoHE) but you managed to get it work the first time so I'm aswell.

It's very bizar yes but bizar things happen with computers I suppose.
