Computer will not POST, video attached
Hey all,
I seem to have this problem whenever I disconnect the power cable from my desktop, but after adding on new HDD's or tinkering inside, I can't get the computer to POST. Usually what ends up happening is I sit by the damn thing for an hour a day, taking the power cable out, putting it back in, and powering it on until it works, but I was hoping someone might have a more enlightened approach on how to fix this.
The desktop survived some water damage (idiot at my party dropped a drink inside), and after thorough cleaning and drying, I got it back to operational status. The PSU was making weird sparky noises when I was tinkering with it, so I replaced that (figuring it would burn the house down at some point), but all the other parts are the same.
Once again, when I get the power cable "right", I can turn off the desktop and turn it back on without a problem.
Here's a video of it trying to start up, notice the two mechanical clicks at the end before the computer turns off. If I don't touch it, it will continually try to boot up.
