The ports (usb, audio etc.) on my brothers computer are leaking power into the case making it not turn on. I don't have anything to test the electricity but with my cheek I can feel a shock like a nine volt on your tongue. Any fix for this or is he going to have to buy a new mobo?

Have you tried it on different outlets?

Check the standoffs are all in properly and there's none loose or that a screws not gone between the motherboard and motherboard tray.

 

A faulty motherboard wouldnt cause an issue like that. it's likely something jumping the power or a grounding issue.
