I came in the office and tried to swap out a computer. I wasn't aware that the computer was on and I started pulling all the plugs. I heard some electrical charge or discharging sound. Since then, the computer will not boot. The fans all seem to run. I had an identical machine so I swapped the power and the hard drives. I removed the cmos battery and replaced it.

What else can I try to troubleshoot this.

Umm.... This may seem perfectly obvious but, have you checked to be sure that the monitor is working fine? Use a different monitor and be sure that pulling the plug hasn't fried the monitor. It may be booting and you can't see it.

Other Info
This is probably the longest I've ever had a Windows machine run without having to restore it to scratch. I'm used to restoring to "factory" about every 2 yrs. I've run with Win7 since new in 2009 and only recently (Nov, '14) restored to clean up the machine from all my 'xperimenting. LOL!! I may never need another machine.

Upgraded to 10 when it was still free, then installed 2017 update.
