did you end up reassembling the whole thing on a piece of cardboard, and with only the core components to get into BIOS.
so no drives, no GPU (use the onboard port), no mouse (just a keyboard so you can press the Fn key to get into BIOS), only one stick of RAM, no external devices, no PCIe cards.
at this stage we just want to get a signal on the monitor.
if you have done all that and still nothing, it’s time to start swapping out parts - and this is where having the stuff outside the case makes things easier.
I’d be starting with the power supply, then the motherboard - of course, making sure the parts you use for testing are compatible.
OR… if this all seems too much or you can’t get easy access to parts to test, it may be time to get the services of your local computer shop.Comment

i didn’t put everything back but i can take more out, and if not i guess i’ll have to bring it somewhere since i don’t have any extra partsOriginally posted by Brucedid you end up reassembling the whole thing on a piece of cardboard, and with only the core components to get into BIOS.
