So I brought a mini blower at my friends house because the dust in his tower was getting out of hand. After we finished dusting it, my friend connected the cable back but pressing the power button did nothing.
I checked the mobo fpanel connections were ok.
One thing I noticed was that after removing the power cable there was a ticking sound coming from the psu, which stopped again when inserting the power cable. I also tried discharging any capacitors by removing power and holding the power button.
Also I had noticed that the psu fan had stopped spinning for some time now, if this is an indication of anything.
So 1) The psu died?
2) Mobo somehow go fried by static while dusting (the dust was quite an escessive amount) ?
3) ?
Should I try removing the cmos battery?
Any thoughts or suggestions?
