My desktop has been unplugged for about 3 weeks. Today, I transferred all the stuff to a new Antec P180 case. After a few hours of putting things together, nothing boots. No beep, no nothing. Just dead silence.
So, I checked the PSU first by jumping the green and a black cable, it fires up my HDD and fans. I also checked the CMOS battery, and it's alive. That leaves out the CPU or the mobo. But my thinking is that if only the CPU is dead, the drives and other things would still fire up. So, my conclusion is that my mobo is dead. It's a refurbished DS3 bought somewhere online.
What do you suggest I do? Is there a better way to test to absolutely confirm that my mobo is dead? I don't have a second CPU or mobo.
Thanks.
