Got my Widow today, how excited I was until I realized it is DOA.... F***!

I am sure GAW will make it right for you. Just a thought what PSU are you trying to run it on?

Brand new Corsair CX750M, I also gave it a try on a RM750.  But PSUs are confirmed to be working... I gave both a try in one of my GPU rig to make sure I didn't get a bad one after the Widow wouldn't start.  As soon as I plug the Widow the PSU refuses to start, if I unplug the Widow the PSU operates as intended (did that with both PSUs), on the positive side the PSU can power the ZenController no problem LOL.
Are you jumping the green and black wire on the 24pin connector? Cause theres no motherboard you need to make the psu power on.

Yes, I'm jumping the PSU, as I said I can run the Pi just fine, I can also run any other hardware device on it (tried HDD and gridseed 5 chip without issues), but if the Widow is plugged into it it refuses to start.. this points to a short with the miner since every other piece of hardware I plug into it works as expected (including a GPU rig).
