Working on a computer for some friends, machine is an eMachines T6216. With this mobo. http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8NGM2-L Atleast thats as far as I can tell. Only thing on the motherboard is MS-7207 Ver 1.0 typed that in google and thats what it come up with (I am 99% sure that is the same mobo as they look just about the same as far as I can tell).

The problem: No post, no video, no nothing

What I have done:

  • reset BIOS (switched jumpers around and removed battery)
  • Unplugged everything except CPU/RAM/MOBO and still got no video
  • removed ram and go no beeps at all.
Only thing else I could try is removing the CPU. PSU seems to be working fine as the fans are spinning and when the HDD was hooked up it was spinning up fine.

Think the mobo is dead?
 
Mobo, Power supply, or CPU, in that order.
First thing I would try would be removing the CPU like you mentioned. Some boards will beep when this occurs, others will just do nothing
 
I've had several Socket A and Socket 370 motherboards crap out with the same symptoms. Simple way to test the power supply is to use a paperclip to bridge the green and black wires on your 20 or 24 pin atx motherboard connector and see if the psu spins up. This will tell you if it's at least partially functional, though it says nothing about what voltages it's putting out.

Edit: Oh, and disconnect the PSU from everything else before doing this.
 
Well i pulled the CPU out and the mobo did nothing.

All the fans would spin up the HDD would spin up but mbo wouldn't do anything (no beeps no nothing). I am taking a wild guess that the mobo is bad :-/. I don't have another motherboard to check the CPU in so I am guessing between the two :(. But I cannot make the mobo make a beep.
 
If it is the motherboard and you can't get the same one, then the front panel connectors likely won't hook up properly in their existing form. (Of course you can mod them to work...) One of the most annoying things about pre-built system cases...

Well, considering it's a standard, off the shelf component and not a board that MSI specifically OEMed for eMachines, that shouldn't be an issue. eMachines has been using off the shelf components for a couple of years now
