Hello,
This is going to be kinda quick because it's late but I'll include as much as I can.
While my pc was doing stuff, I wanted to change cpu fan orientation on my beQuiet Pure Rock heatsink. While releasing the fan holder things it kinda snapped off because it was tight and slightly forcefully landed on my motherboard, and i think it touched the back of the gpu too. The pc immediately shut off and it doesn't turn on anymore. It's typical fried symptoms : no leds, no response to power button, nothing. Upon inspection i saw that 4 motherboard traces were scratched enough too feel them with my nail
. While desperately trying things to bring it back, my friend suggested I see if any chips get hot. And one did. It's an ITE chip, and it's connected directly to the tiniest scratched trace. I'd like to add that i tried the PSU 2 cable shorting thing and it turned on. Also when everything was alright and psu was on, the mobo had breathing leds. Now as i said no leds turned on but the ITE chip does get hot when power is connected, even if there's nothing installed (no gpu cpu ram just power cables. So i was thinking if there's anything i can do at all? Before i pack it? Thanks in advance.
