Hey guys, I've got a major problem and I really hope you guys can save the day.

So, my brother was doing just usual stuff on his computer when it suddenly turned off, and won't turn back on. here's a list of things we have tried:

taking out and plugging back in the power cable.

switching the power supply off and on.

reinsterting the power button reset switch hdd led cables that goes on those tiny pins.

another thing we have done is:

we removed all usb cables, the only cables that are plugged in is the lan cable (because if there's a lan cable inserted a small orange light glows) and the power cable.

 

we are completely for a loss and have no clue what to do. thank you guys in advance!

Nope not even this, not even going into bios, the blades on the cpu fan won't even spin

edit: when plugging in a mouse with leds the mouse gives off light as normal, so it's weird for a dead mobo to do that.

Try reflashing the bios... was it pluged into a surge protector, and he could have gotten a virus... viruses will override bios sometimes.

when the power button is pressed, absolutely nothing happens, how can I flash the bios in such a scenario?

U would need a USB drive another pc but what motherboard do you have because if it isn't a higher end board you might not be able to
