I was using my computer today when suddenly shut down. I tried to start it
up again but nothing happened. There was no sound of the hard drive starting
or no led lights on. I opened it up but the only light that was on was a led
light on the motherboard. Could it be possible that my power supply could be
faulty.

This is a hardware issue and yes, your power supply could be faulty.
Just as equally the fault could lie in your motherboard, your processor,
overheating, etc. There is no way for someone to pinpoint the culprit
from what you've written.

Standard disclaimer: I can't see and test your computer myself, so these
are just suggestions based on many years of being a professional
computer tech; suggestions based on what you've written. You should not
take my suggestions as a definitive diagnosis. Testing hardware failures
often involves swapping out suspected parts with known-good parts. If
you can't do the testing yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your
computer, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not
your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have
all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.

It certainly can be possible for the PS to be bad,,,but the power light on
the mobo ...on

Of course the only way to troubleshoot is to substitute components.

the first thing to try of course is to check all connections
