Hi guys,
So recently some idiot (me) spill some liquid on top of my pc, not a huge amount but enough that it'd cause issues.
Currently I can't get any power to the PC (I know big surprise). When the liquid hit I immediately hit the power switch not so gracefully shutting it down, after giving it a good clean and leaving it for a bit I now don't get any power.
Initially thinking it may have been a PSU issue I went ahead and picked up a new one quickly but still getting the same results where I can't even get the new PSU running. Thinking it may now be an issue with the MB but when connected aesthetic Leds on this come on so I guess it's getting something. In it's current state with eveything in, if I try to power it on there is a very brief click which I've found was one of the front fans moving very very slightly for a very brief moment. The PSU is using all new cables so I don't see how it could still be that.
What I've done
-Removed eveything with just the 24 pin connected and tried (also did this with the 8 pin CPU connected
-Thinking it may be the power button tried to manually start it but no luck there
-Removed the CMOS and cleared it, again manually as I have to jumper connectors
-With everything in none of the motherboard issue LEDs (Asus Q Leds) light up
At this point I have no doubt the liquid caused some issues but I don't know where, all signs are pointing to the mobo but the Leds are throwing me off.
I don't have a multimeter handy and can't for the life of me find a paperclip to test the PSU but with a reputable brand new one bought in store I think it'd be very unlikely.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you
