Friend's backup system. ASUS H87M-E motherboard, Intel processor, but I forget the exact model. 16 GB. Everything worked fine until system required new heatsink/fan, and motherboard had to be removed from case.
Fans spin (heatsink, chassis) and power LED comes on, but no video.
Note: When I changed the Clear RTC jumper from Normal to Clear RTC, fans did not spin but Power LED came on. Idea was to reset BIOS.
Update: When SATA cables connected, HDD spins up.
So what else can we do to get this board to boot up?
What we checked:

What we checked:
- Disconnected all SATA data and power cables.
- Power Supply 24-pin and 8-pin cables checked out good using Power Supply tester.
- CPU removed. Socket inspected very carefully for bent pins. CPU replaced.
- Removed RAM sticks and powered up. No video. Inserted just one RAM stick, one at a time, and powered up. No video. Power LED always came on.
