Question Can someone help me

[Looqh]

I went to upgrade my cpu from an a10 9700 yo an amd ryzen 5 3600 and I didn’t know about updating bios for my motherboard at the time so I just took the a10 out and put the r5 in, all the lights came on but there was so signal as of me not doing bios updates so I took the motherboard out again but now there is no power and I realised I need to put the old 1 back in but it dosnt even turn on and there are no lights or fans spinning but there is an orange light on the motherboard.

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated

Disconnect the power supply from the wall socket, then take out the CMOS battery out of the motherboard, leave it out for ten minutes, then put it back in, put the A10 in, and power up. Should work then.

OK. What motherboard do you have? You said there is an orange light, but without knowing the make and model of mobo, it's impossible to diagnose what the LED means.

OK, one last thing to try. Please follow this link to the manual for your motherboard, and (very carefully) follow the instructions for "Clearing RTC RAM" listed on page 11, or Chapter 1 "Product Introduction, Section 11 depending on whether or not you can see the actual page numbers.

What does it mean by “use a screwdriver to short the two pins”

 

[AdmiralDonut]

Shorting the pins means making a connection between the two pins to complete a circuit. If you don't have a screwdriver, then anything made of steel or iron will do.

I don't think there's anything else to be done I'm afraid. You could take it to a local PC store if you have one, and ask them to look at it, but aside from that I think you may have to consider buying a new motherboard and calling this one a loss. If it's still under warranty, you might try that route, too.
