The above thread is also my exact same issue, but now i don't have my gen 1 cpu to test anymore, i tried all the hot fixes, i since moved all my parts to a new motherboard and they all work great, even upgraded my r5 1400 to a r5 5600 on a gigabyte a320 motherboard. but my b350 gaming plus is now needed in a system and i'd hope to fix it rather than buy a new motherboard.

I forgot which debug lights get on when i test it, but back then i tested it with good ram, gpu, and a ryzen 5 1400/1600 without hope, it spins the cpu fans but doesn't turn on. some people suggested i replace the cmos, i believe i tried that too before with no result. anyone here can help? thank you
 
You might want to source a CH341A BIOS Programmer and see if flashing the BIOS helps revive the board. I said that since your motherboard that's conked out;
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B350-GAMING-PLUS/support
doesn't have any onboard functionality to flash the BIOS.
i can try to get a cpu and flash the bios if it worked, the issue is when testing back then it didnt boot to screen no matter what we tried it with using a compatible cpu
