Hello
It almost sounds like a mistake at the pc start switch and reboot switch.

Check that you have your pc start wires from the front start button of the case, in the correct spot on the motherboard.

Also remove the memory sticks and reseat them.

The green light on the motherboard is good it means your getting power from the power supply.

The start and reboot switch wiring can be tricky if one plug is in the wrong spot on the motherboard.

HP Compaq Evo D310 Desktop. After connecting the mains supply to the desktop and swithing the power on, nothing happens when pressing the power button on the front of the unit. I notice there is a small...

That switch is there to select between European and US voltage - if the pc has worked before then leave it as it is. Change it to the wrong setting and the power source will be fried.
Your pc doesn't start because you have a hardware fault.  Disconnect the data cable from the hard disk and try again. Next you must test the power source itself , outside of the pc - take it out then connect the green wire from the big connector to the black wire next to it; if the fan of the source doesn't start then it's fried, replace it. If it does then you must try the other components. If you haven't done that before , or if you don't have other components to swap for testing ,  then it's time to take it to a shop, nothing more you can do to it

Pc wont boot up, instead a red light flickers.

Flickering LED means power supply is overloaded with something. It might be inside of the supply, but sometimes it is something else. Try that:
1. Disconnect everything from the motherboard except power supply and power button;
2. Disconnect all power connectors from all drives;
2. Remove any cards from the motherboard so all you have is power supply and motherboard with CPU and RAM, nothing else. You can keep connected the monitor and keyboard;
3. Press Power button. Will motherboard turn on normally?

If no - check electrolytic capacitors especially around the CPU, if some of them are "popped" replace them.
If yes - connect drives and cards one per time to localize the problem.
