Motherboard died

[BoyKyle]

My pc that’s been running fine for just over a year just wouldn’t turn on after a weekend away yesterday. There was no sign of life at all apart from the LEDS on the motherboard. I’ve tested the power supply with my multimeter and plugged it into my brother pc and it all worked fine. I took out the ram and storage and breadboarded the motherboard with just the processor. I still got no signs off life apart from the LEDs on the motherboard. From this I’ve presumed it probably isn’t the processor as I can’t even get fans to spin. I’ve spoke to amazon and got a full refund on my motherboard and have a replacement arriving tomorrow. The motherboard I’ve ordered is pretty much the same as I previously had the Asus prime Z370-A and I’ve ordered the Asus prime Z370-A ii. I’m just wondering if anyone would say what I have done is the right thing or not and is there anything I need to do when swapping the motherboard or will the pc just work it out itself?

It sounds like you've troubleshooted everything you could, I would say a new board is probably your fix. You could've tried removing the CMOS battery with the system unplugged for about 10 minuted. I've seen board spontaneously just die before.

If there is no life at all and the power supply is fine its prob the board did u test the Power button i had one pc where the Power button got stuck inside ^^ (just use a screwdriver on the 2 pins for power and see if it turns on )

Yeah I tried this as well as the power switching on the motherboard and neither worked.
