Power supply dead?

My Montech Century II 850W power supply died suddenly after less than a year (didn’t hear/smell anything although I did have headphones on) and no lights or anything come on when I try to power on pc. I tried to get the psu fan to spin by removing all cables except motherboard cable from psu, making sure that the smart fan was set to off, and placing a paper clip on the other end of the motherboard cable as shown in the image (I stripped the paper clip cover off both ends and it is inserted fully) but fan is not coming on. Is there anything else I should try or is it dead and should RMA.

PC specs:
CPU: 7800X3D
Motherboard: MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI
GPU: RTX 5070
PSU: Montech CENTURY II 850W 80+ Gold PSU
