Brothers computer not turning on at all

He said he was restarting it and it just doesn't turn on. I thought it was the PSU at first but when I used the paperclip test on it it turns on the fans (connected directly to PSU) so now I think it's the motherboard. 

 

No POST, no lights, nothing. Are we just going to have to replace the motherboard.

Is there like a tick noise when you try to turn it on? Also, just being able to turn on the fans means nothing except your PSU isn't entirely dead; I've had units that can power the fans and LEDs, but nothing else.

 

I think it could be motherboard, CPU, or power supply. Test all of these parts as individually as possible(PSUs can be tricky to troubleshoot).

Hmm. Test each of the components I mentioned and see what that brings up.

The computer is probably gold deprived. Meaning that the computer doesn't have enough gold, you should probably add some gold of your ornaments or something. Melt it using a candle on to your GPU or RAM and that will get rid of the gold deprivation. YOu could also put 3-11 drops of alcohol or water or gold on it ass well.
