Burned my MoBo?

[Tienkou]

Full build:

• MSI MPG X570 Pro Carbon Wifi
• AMD Ryzen 5 3600
• 16GB G.Skill Trident Z Cl16
• Asus GTX Strix 1080
• Intel 660p 512
• Kraken 52X AIO
• EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G3 80+ Gold

I have a year old  MSI MPG X570 Pro Carbon Wifi mother board on my second PC that I am trying to sell. I swapped some better parts from it to my main rig. The part being mobo it meant that I had to tear down two desktops and put them together again in new configurations. My main PC worked like a charm, but when I tried week later boot the one when I found a buyer I ran in to problems.

 

• I had the computer ready (I didn't post it on a box I know...) I flipped the switch and pushed powerbutton and... nothing. All the lights and leds (memory, GPU, Kraken) lit up, but no boot screen or anything. I had latest bios and WIN10 USB on a computer.
• There was a disturbing stench of burning electronics... 
• Power button was unresponsive and I flipped the PSU switch.
• EZ debug LEDs were dark
• After this nothing happened ever again. Only one white led on GTX1080 strix. MoBo is dark. Memory is dark. Kraken is dark. My mood is dark.

After some Googling I figured that most likely problems would be with PSU or MoBo. So what I have tried sofar:

1. Cmos reset
2. Tried flashing bios (I didn't get to bios)
3. Re-socket CPU
4. Another PSU (same modular cords, different PSU)
5. Tried to post on a box without GPU (yeah... getting desperate here...)
6. Re-socketed again and bent one pin a little... 
7. Getting desperate, time to ask for a help...

So do you guys in the Internet think that the MoBo is toast or what? Any help is appreciated.

From what you have described, yes, it does sound like your motherboard is toast. Can you RMA it? Is it still under manufacturer warranty?

Well
you have the correct cables plugged in?
do you get troubleshooting LEDs?

And why did you try to post it without the GPU, you don´t have a APU

 

I have a background with old custom rigs, and CMOS has always gotten everything back to work
sometimes I need to do it 2-3 times
this was on LGA1156

OK
it is very likely toast
contact MSI support, that board runs its VRM hot
that might be the problem
Also say that "I did not overclock, nor did I use XMP 2.0

When the power button isn't doing anything

Typically the board is too far gone for clearing CMOS to help

Yeah
prob
I have never been on that of a spot, 
so I was speaking of my own experience, which I prob should have said clearer
