I recently assembled a PC for my buddy's little brother and almost comically, he managed to have it crash to the floor less than a day after I delivered it, destroying the motherboard in the process.
He bought a replacement board, so I spent last night throwing it all back together.
It didn't seem to have any issues until it finally came to testing with a monitor connected. Both HDMI and VGA connected monitors were displaying "No signal". I did notice that my VGA monitor seemed to briefly acknowledge that it was being connected by quickly flickering, but otherwise displayed nothing.
I first tried checking all connections (which seemed solid) before pulling the GPU out. Nothing, so I pulled the CPU and RAM as well. I tried reseting the CMOS, still nothing. I finally tried yanking every connected cable save the motherboard power, still no display.
I ended up throwing it all back together just to test it with with a friend's monitor/cable for the hell of it, still nothing.
Is there anything else I could be missing that I haven't tried yet or does this sound like another bad board?
Any input would be much appreciated!
