Old PC does not post
Ok so my friend gave me his old PC and said it wasn't working so I decided to take a look at it. He had said that nothing was showing up on the monitor when he turned it on so I assumed the on board graphics were probably shot. So first thing I did was try using a different working gpu, but still no response from the monitor. Next thing I tried was using a better psu; the fan still was not spinning and still no signal. From here I assumed the mobo was dead, but not 100% sure as the fans plugged in were still spinning and the hdd was still able to run. Also checked if the cmos battery was still good and it was. My next step was to check if the mobo would give me any beep codes so I removed everything buy the CPU and the psu as well as the on button, and to my surprise it gave my no response. Not sure if I just don't have the speaker plugged in or if it doesn't have one.
Now current day the machine doesn't post what so ever and I'm really stumped as to if it is the mobo or something else is the culprit.
The monitor is confirmed working.
