Motherboard died?

[arussell]

I think my friend's motherboard died. He brought it over to my house for me to look at, when I turned it on, no BIOS was displayed and no "beeps." Its definately not the monitor or video card because I tried different 1s so I think it is the motherboard that died. Is there any sure-fire way to test if it is indeed the motherboard?

if its not the cpu, ram or video and its not shorted or anything its more than likely broken

If the fans are running and the drives are spinning, try shorting the pins and defaulting the BIOS. Worth a shot!
