Asking the obvious usually solves the problem because most PSUs come with that on/off switch in the off position, and most that are being replaced don't have this switch so it generally goes unnoticed on the new one.

How did you test it to make sure it wasn't defective in the first instance?
Note that if you just plugged it in without a load on it, you'll have burnt it out.
