Will it beep or do something without the video card? Because maybe my video card is faulty. I need to try that one out.
I have reseated the ram many times, removed IDE connector of cd and hard disk, tried without ram as well.
I have removed the motherboard from its place to check for any signs of burnt components but nothing, no components seem to be burnt at least visually and no overheating of any component.
About the capacitors, I have looked at them, there are no real signs of leaking capacitors, but i can see like a hairline on some of the metal capacitors especially close to the cpu board. None are shorted but you cannot know if they leaky unless you replace a couple, which I might consider.
I have repaired other pc motherboards before but you could visually see the capacitors bulging (inflated). They seem to use good quality capacitors on these motherboards though.
Maybe someone can enlighten me if it is worth replacing the capacitors if you think it could be from those, I might have a go at them.
Thanks guys for your support and help, really appreciate it.
