Hi,
Two days ago I spilled dr pepper in my pc. It turned off and wouldn't come back on after I did my best to dry it. I took it to my local computer shop who told me the mobo and ram are dead but the other components are ok.
So I ordered a new mobo and new ram, set it up (I've decent experience building PC's) but now it still won't start.
I've tried a different psu, different power cable, different plug socket all to no avail. I'm concerned the power button on my case may be the problem so I tried the screwdriver trick with the power switch pins but it didn't work.
In case it's relevant:
Case - NZXT H510
New mobo - Gigabyte B550 Gaming X V2
CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 3700x
GFX - Nvidia 1660
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 2x16gb DDR4
PSU - EVGA 600W 80+
I'd really appreciate any suggestions on what to try, thanks!
Edit: I forgot to add that when I connect my external HDD via usb, it boots up and the light turns on, don't know whether this helps or not but thought it may be useful.
