Does not boot anymore

by kendikong . Updated 13 years, 8 months ago

I went to open up my ACER desktop computer yesterday to take out the unused 2nd hard drive. I opened the side case. I unscrewed the CPU fan because it was blocking the way of the hard drive. I removed the cables to the harddrive. I took out the harddrive. Then I screwed back the CPU fan.

When I try to turn it on, the POWER LED light doesn’t turn on and nothing shows on the screen. I try opening it back up and turning it on and I notice the following things: Hard drive is running, DVD Drive works, CPU fan is running, ACER Logo LED lights are on.

I tried resetting the motherboard by using the jumpers and taking out the battery but it didn’t work.

I could only think that either my motherboard or CPU had suddenly died or something while I was tinkering with it, but I didn’t think I touched anything but some cables and the fan.
