Completely fried pc?

[Chris_R.]

Hi all...I hope this is within the troubleshooting realm and rules.

 

My parents had a Dell Inspiron 3668. It used a weird SFX proprietary PSU that had a proprietary 6pin MB connector instead of 24 pin.

The HDD's and optical drive were also proprietary power connections, that instead of connecting to the PSU, get power from the MB. (I kid you not, power straight from MB)

 

Anyway the PSU went bad (Or so I thought). No green light system won't boot.

However I pulled the HDD out to recover data and it is also fried. I tried 2 different HDD Docks and it will not even 'click' or power up at all...no power.

I'm thinking a surge actually hit this thing...it was not plugged into a surge protector.

 

I did test the case fans, those still work.

 

My question, would the CPU and Ram be fried as well? (i3-7100 / DDR4 ram 8gb)

The only board I have spare is a old Z87 board..so I am not able to test in anyway the CPU...I was debating pulling the CPU / ram for a server build.
