    Hey There
    I know this video is two years old, so Im not even sure if youre going to see this.
    I just wanted to say Thank You.
    My comp went down a week ago, and I need it for work, but I just dont trust anyone going through all my bank info, personal photos etc.
    I tried everything... no go.
    I was going to go this morning (Saturday 1/28) and end up dropping 1500ish on a new computer.
    I decided when I woke up at 4 am to give it one more try and saw your video.
    Its crazy but in all the videos I had watched this week NO ONE mention the battery thing (Hell just getting ANYONE who had my exact issue was hard to find)
    I did the 'clean the ram sticks' and 'take out the coin battery', checked all my connections and Cleaned it out throroughly
    Poof.
    After a stressful week, my monitor finally had something on it besides "NO SIGNAL".
    Its all working fine now.
    Thank you so much. I owe ya one, bud

    Very good stuff here but you're basically just swapping out parts until it turns back on. Most people don't have a spare power supply laying around and if you do this a lot I'm sure you know by now you probably should have went ahead and tested the motherboard on its box, especially since you already had a power supply sitting out..

    Thank you so much for this video! Earlier today I turned my PC off, tried turning it back on and absolutely nothing happened. I was so confused. Troubleshooted everything, paper-clip tested PSU, reset CMOS, etc. I knew it would most likely be a motherboard issue, but I wasn’t sure, as most online articles said that faulty motherboards would have damaged capacitors, and mine were perfectly intact. Thanks to this video I’m much more confident it’s the motherboard now. Subscribed :)

      Mine has the same issue after I dissembled it for travel. When I rebuild it, the motherboard shows no signs of power, I tested PSU with multimeter, voltages seems correct, I also tried jumpstart the motherboard but that doesn't work either. Weird thing is the audio line in/out port LEDs light up, red, green and blue on the motherboard, but I assume it doesn't mean anything.

    Let's say the PSU 100% works in a different system, but when plugged into the faulty system, the system shows absolutely no signs of life whatsoever, no fans spinning no lights, nothing. That would be a motherboard issue, no? The motherboard in question has always had a faulty CMOS battery socket and would reset CMOS any time the PC was unplugged and take a god awful time to post again. I suppose the motherboard is the issue here. Only thing that would explain it, or am I wrong?

      A pc keep giving alarming beeps or siren but still work fine. Usually first thing to do is to replace the PC case and install the RAM in different slots, but some RAM stick are the “leader” stick that must be in the slot 1 to make a pc POST as the other sticks of RAM “follower” sticks that couldn’t POST all by itself.
      It may not be the PSU has fault, but replace the PSU may fix it if all the fans works fine when there was no POST. Replace mobo’s battery too. In many cases no PC parts has fault, it just need to replace the PC case, RAM, PSU, battery with another working PC parts, so after doing all that, you ended up with 2 working PC system and not a single faulty PC part.
      May need to replace the PC case because some pc case’s back panel is curved outward and need pushed inward to put in the screw to secure the graphic card, so after some years or weeks of use, it pulled things out of place, bow and arrow theory … …
      In one of the other cases, each time the power is out in my house, I need to replace the graphic card and installed a graphic card that could POST in the PC, then I install the one that failed to POST back in place and it could POST, so each time the power it’s out I need to repeat that!
      Some PC could shut down due to static changes when your hand is only touching the power button to the PC that’s made of plastic.
      Some PC couldn’t POST, just wait a 3 days without using it, then it return to life of POST, this could happen once in a few years of use, like seeing a comet going passing by! Unplug the power cord and HDMI cables to the PC and let it sit there for 3 days …

    This happened to my PC two weeks ago - dead, from one day to the next. When switching on the fans ran for ten seconds and then nothing. The Asus Mainboard H97M-E did not even boot to the bios. I tried many things but when it came to investing larger sums for new hardware, I gave up. This is only worth it if the PC is still new. And then there is usually still a warranty on the machine.

    first-time builder here, I've gone through all these steps and different variations of these steps. I can only get to post with one RAM stick in the manufacturers suggested single stick slot. If I have two in the suggested slots it will not get to post. I think I can count out a short from the case because I can get there with the one stick. You guys definitely thinking bad mobo?

I actually haven't entered BIOS yet, I have been stopping there and testing Rams etc I really think it's the slot on the motherboard. one other thing is that I've tried different slots with the RAM and it will only boot in that suggested single slot. Also when I reseated everything I noticed The stick of RAM that was in there was out just a hair from its clip. I retested all the RAM , it didn't hurt the stick but I'm thinking that there may have been some damage done to the slot. I have not tried cleaning with an eraser mainly because it was brand new.

    I'm hoping it's not a dead motherboard. I think I'll try removing the motherboard's battery and see if that fixes it.
    It's quite crazy, it was working perfectly until yesterday, i unplugged it after shutting it down yesterday, and all of a sudden it was making this weird noise when turning it on today, so i thought my power supply was probably dead, swapped the power supply, removed my GPU just to see if i could get an image out of the APU, and still nothing...
    Fans are spinning, and my motherboard's lights are on... Weird issue, but hopefully one of this things will work and i won't have to get a new motherboard -_-

    Hey. So what's your take on this scenario:
    I have a pc, it does not have a power supply. It's a lenovo motherboard, I use a lenovo laptop charger to power it. We just use the pc as a headless server for the home theater, it was functional for at least 8 years before it one day just didn't want to turn on anymore. I have no hope or desire or time to spend money to fix it because it was purely a hobby build. However how would you diagnose something like that when you don't have common signs to where the issue is?

    I have an issue where I can a black screen most of the time when booting but when it doesn’t black screen, it goes past bios but freezes right after. (Can still get into bios fine)
    Things I’ve done:
    Replaced motherboard
    Tested GPU, RAM, PSU, SSD not an issue with any of that. Tested with different parts.
    Reset CMOS, Updated BIOS same issue.
    Only part I haven’t tested is the CPU, I have been told it is extremely rare for a cpu failure. All the research I’ve done doesn’t lead to a CPU issue.

    • @UltimateTechHub
      @UltimateTechHub  3 роки тому

      Sounds like it's the motherboard to me. My only other advice is to take everything out of the pc case and start over from scratch with installing the mobo amd make sure all of the cables are connected correctly. Like make sure the CPU power connector is plugged in from the PSU, that will cause it not to boot. Sometimes motherboards have jumpers that can fall off during install and that will cause it not to boot. A bad CPU is very unlikely but you can remove the CPU and look for any bent pins. If there are bent pins that will be the reason it's not booting. Keep me posted and thank you for watching.

    Is it a dead giveaway that your mobo is faulty when your PC wont post - and does not recognize your usb devices?
    I tried everything: checking all cables, swapping the psu and gpu, run the pc with only one ram (cycled throu all 4 slots, with both of them), even unplugged both ssd and hdd, but i get nothing.. the pc refuses to boot/post.
    The Mobo's (an msi b350 pc mate) VGA led lights up, but even without a VGA OR another 100% working gpu it stays on. Tried the other pcie slot, same result.
    So i thought, okay, I'll try a bootable usb with freedos.. but nope, the pc wont even recognize the USB-Stick (works fine on my other pc).
    Narrowed it down to the CPU or Mobo, but I don't have anny spare parts for that.
    The only thing that i think is strange and make me believe it's the Mobo, is that my keyboard and mouse won't light up.

    If you replace the motherboard, shouldnt you have to reinstall Windows cause the MB serial nr is somehow tied to Windows or something?

      After replacing your motherboard the operating system can't find a license that matches your device. You'll need to reactivate Windows with a digital license or product key. Windows will work without the license key but I always use a key. Here is a video on cheap keys for around 4 dollars!
