I spilt water on my pc a few months ago and started trying to get it working again for the past few days. I tested all my components and determined that the motherboard was dead, everything else still worked(i tested them in a friends pc). I bought a new motherboard and put everything together. My led indicator on the front glows and turns off when i disconnect the PSU from the motherboard so i know its getting powered but the front power switch doesn’t turn the pc on nor does trying to jump it with a screwdriver. I just cant figure out whats going on.

Check the following User Manual link for the motherboard.

https://manualmachine.com/biostar/a320mh/7659939-manual/

Do verify that I found the correct User Manual.

Use the manual to double check all connections and configurations.

Try clearing CMOS per physically numbered Page 13 of the User Manual.

No one wants to force a connection on a new build but what may feel tight and in place is actually not.

Try carefully unplugging and re-plugging connectors, cards, RAM, jumpers. You may discover that some connection suddenly just fits in better and the system will boot thereafter.
