I came home and for some reason my dog had gone nuts on my computer's cords it ate through my mouse cord, chewed up a usb stick while it was plugged into the back of my computer, chewed through an Ethernet cable (with the Ethernet still plugged in), and chwed through a printer cable
my computer now will no longer work. the power supply fan comes on, the motherboard light is on, and the video card fan starts going.
the case fans do not turn on. My keyboard does not work, I get no video to monitor. there are no beeps to signify anything.
I'm not even sure where to start
|
now I am not even sure if my motherboard has a speaker, I don't think it came with one and I can find jack shit about it in the manual
|
I'd disconnect everything external, open up the case and go through all connections and make sure all cables are plugged in well, wiggle and push down on the graphics card, things like that.
Here's what those speakers that do the beeps at boot are:

Those things come with the case and are connected to the motherboard in the same area where you are connecting the case's buttons and power/HDD lights. Look at the "piezoelectric PC speaker" picture in that article. You might have that thing somewhere in an accessories box.

I bought a speaker for my mobo since I didn't have one one. maybe I threw it away like an idiot or something. So that's on it's way.
I do suspect the mobo is bad anyways though I mean why would the case fans not blow, and the debug LEDs on the mobo don't even come on.
|
first, get a cat
probably something shorted out because of chewing. try removing all cables and then turn it on, if it doesn't work mobo is ded like you said. pray other parts are ok
|
I guess it's possible your dog sniffed that something is wrong and tried to disconnect whatever they could. However, it's possible they just decided to be stupid.
|
Strange that the PSU fan comes on but the case fans don't.Doesn't sound good I'm afraid.

If you have onboard graphics try plugging your monitor into your motherboard instead of your video card. It doesn't sound good for the mobo tho

- BIOS gives the beeps, if you don't have those ... it's weird; since it has its own power supply and all. - case fans are software controlled(mostly) so it's not a problem if they don't start spinning immediately.
i would check power supply voltages(running with no load) then reseat everything. (what you said in the op doesn't look that bad(mobos work with busted USB ports and shorts on wires would trigger power protections at worst) so something else must've happened)
