I think CompUSA sells a PS tester. This gets by all of those wiring and
switch problems. It is only about $20.00

What more is there than jumpering the Power_Supply_On wire to ground with
a load on the output?

That's pretty much all there is to those little cheapie testers... A
little box containing a minimal load, some LEDs that give a go//nogo
indication of all the voltages, a switch that lets you turn the PS on-off
from the box and an instruction sheet that was written by a Chinese
housewife and translated into English by a Russian schoolboy.
