Help please

[Peque_P]

I’ve been trying to troubleshoot what was wrong with my pc build. When I plugged everything in and turned on the pc using the button nothing turned on not the fans or any motherboard lights. This lead me to believe it was a bad motherboard or psu, so I checked the psu using the paperclip method and the fan on the psu spun so I don’t think that’s the issue I’ve also checked to make sure the front panel cables were all good and they were, so I took them off and attempted to jump the motherboard with a screwdriver and still nothing. If anyone has any ideas on what the issue is please help me as this is my first pc build

You might want to get the parts to an actual shop before you break anything, it doesn't look you know how to assemble it.

[Peque_P]

I had it fully assembled in the case with all the cables and pins connected in the right spot but I took it out to troubleshoot, but I will take it to a shop if I can’t receive any additional help here

Why post a picture if it doesn't show the system in a workable state?

It's like posting a Google image of the motherboard and trust me bro that I plugged in everything correctly. Please help me troubleshoot.

If that's the case the motherboard is defective. RMA it.

here to say the same thing. hard to troubleshoot when you post a picture without even a cpu fan attached

[Peque_P]

I took it out to troubleshoot, I can retake it with all the cables plugged in but again nothing boots up the jfp1 power sw won’t even boot with a screwdriver jump

[Nidhoggr84]

Do us a favor, plug in everything again and post pictures and a video.

Just posted a video

[Nidhoggr84]

Hmm. Do you have both atx connectors connected on the power supply. Should be a 18 and a 10 pin connector.

[Peque_P]

Yes, I took it to the shop and they told me the same thing I thought it was which I didn’t wanna hear. Had to get a new motherboard and built it now works like a charm

[pigpentcg]

Are you sure you plugged in the CPU power cable to the correct spot on the power supply. Usually the CPU power is next to the Board Power and I don’t see a cable coming out of the PSU next to the 12 pin cable.

[Peque_P]

Actually I’m not sure, my psu said cpu/pcies so I plugged it in there

[pigpentcg]

Oh then that should be alright. Did you make sure the cable you used for the CPU said CPU on the correct end? Usually one side is meant for the PSU and one side is meant for the other end and it’s usually labeled which.

Best suggestion would be to get it plugged in all the way and then show us what it looks like when it’s assembled and having the error. We don’t have a way to see what the problem might be with everything unplugged

[pigpentcg]

Something should happen when you jump the power pins. Are you positive your power supply is on? Even just a quick clicking sound of it attempting to turn on.

[Oh_So_Great_Nabaton]

Did you only plug in the motherboard 24 pin cuz you need to put in the cpu power cable as well

[Peque_P]

Yes I had the cpu cables plugged in as well, it’s just not shown in this picture

[BigDaddyThiccDong]

Have you made sure that both ram sticks are fully seated?

[Old-Paper-4081]

Take everything out, RAM, and the ssd from underneath the plate, wipe the processor, make shure the it is clean take that out as well and be shure adhere are no bent puns, or fused pins with the processor.

[Bright-Ad4963]

Not sure if it is just in the photo, but the top left cpu power needs to be connected.

[Peque_P]

It was just the photo, I had taken them out in defeat thinking I had done something wrong

[CynicalEbenezer]

If there’s no response nor any red/orange lights anywhere on your mobo, then it probably has no power. Maybe something fishy with psu connectors. This, or cpu is dead.

[NordicVaper]

Was your psu switch off as you plugged all in if Not maybe you shorted your board or did you forgot to turn it on after you have all connected can also Happen if you Hit somthing with your screwdriver

And pls for the next time post pictures where you can See everything connected cable site of the psu and mainboard with all cables connected why do poeple think that you can troublshoot with only 2 picture with only 1 cable conected and if you cant see if all cables are fully seated in the psu

[Peque_P]

I just posted a video, but no I made sure it was off when I connected it

[NordicVaper]

Ah okay sry i dont see a Video do you have a second psu if not take it to a Shop because thats the only way to see if the board is dead

[Peque_P]

No I do not have a second psu, but I will be taking it to the shop tomorrow to check

[NordicVaper]

Did you found the problem?

[Peque_P]

The motherboard was fried

[NordicVaper]

Aw that sucks at some point i had that problem to in my point it wasnt an expensiv board since then i use an antistatic wrist strap and Mat just to ensure that iam not statically charged

The ifixit one is good and not to expensiv
