I recently gave my parents my old computer. It is an athlon 2600xp with an ecs KT-600A.
Apparently one of them was trying to plug in the printer to the serial port, and moved the motherboard by pushing too hard on the port. Basically, the motherboard wasnt put in well enough, and it shifted, possibly touching the case. The computer turned off, and that was it.
The power supply was killed, and I replaced it. Now it starts up, the fan spins on the CPU, and I get no video on the screen. When I feel the HD it doesnt seem to be spinning.
Just to make sure it wasnt being grounded, I took the motherboard out and reseated it along with everything else.
Is it possible that it shorted out, killing it, and possibly other things that were attatched?
