Today I asked an acquaintance I.T. guy about his opinion on my TV tower problem.
He looked at the display when the PC was attempting to boot and decided it wasn't hardware at all. He eventually looked at the BIOS and swapped IDE to AHCI and it booted up normally, after a short pause.
I guess the IDE SATA setting got dropped when the power lead came off inside the box originally?
