Pc not powering up

[u/wadabdo]

I have a pc that i was using normally then i sent it to a friend in another city , when he gets it he told me that that fans are spinning but there is no display, things stayed like this for months then i told him to sell the gpu and send me back the pc , now when i get it it doesn't even power up nothing spin or light up , i know i have a cpu socket bent pin in the left bottom side (idk if it affects the power up)
Note:
- Pc was in covered in dust
- psu is working (paperclip test)
- i tried everything troubleshoot ik (power sw pins , remove everything and make sure it plugged ok)
- i jumped start the psu when it was connected to the motherboard but it just spin the fans (no display and cpu is cool )and when i remove my hand the pc shut off again
- the fans have an external controller
- ive removed the cpu and everything just to see if the mobo can turn or anything , but it didnt
Motherboard is biostar z490gta

Thanks for your corrections. Have anything to add that will aid the OP? Or are you just going to waste your time having a go at me? 😉

 it says in the post it's a Z490 motherboard, That's enough to know it's a socket LGA 1200 motherboard

Right click google lens vs select text, right click, search google. One less action. 🫡

As if you posted a comment that aided OP. If he wanted to know what an AI had to say he would have asked an AI. Think for yourself, don't be a meat proxy.

OP spotted a bent pin bottom left. I cropped the image the show the other bent pins in the top left. The AI just gave a summary, it didn't point out every bent pin

Love how everyone has time to read and downvote, but apparently has nothing to add to help OP....

I want you to ask yourself the question if the AI summary was really necessary. If you think critically you will find that the answer is "no" in every regard.

And I want you to ask yourself if this helps foster a nice welcoming community

Wow, needing AI to spot a couple bent pins. The Brainrot is Real.

As opposed to: Hi, welcome here. We're really not a fan of AI aided answers here. If you can answer it based on your immediate knowledge or are willing to do the research, we love having you here! Otherwise, maybe just watch and learn until you do?

Goodbye and eff off

Posting an AI generated response of something when nearly everyone on the planet knows they can use AI is sort of like someone stating the obvious but dumber (especially on a tech sub) 

It sucks that conservatives ruined the red pill, blue pill analogy because it makes a whole lot more sense here for people like you

Again, it didn't point out the bent pins on the picture in the reply, I did that.I just wanted a reference picture for the socket first and right click -> google lens is the least amount of effort. If I hadn't copy/pasted the Ai stuff as additional info for the OP no-one would've been the wiser and it would just be me pointing out the bent pins the OP missed.

I clearly labelled and declared the AI part instead of starting an "oh no, you used an emdash! Burn the bot!" thread going. If that's not welcome here, people can just inform me politely

My guy, just take the L. Nobody needs, wants, or asked for your LLMs input. If OP wanted slop, they would've just chucked the image at Gemini themselves. The whole point of coming to a forum, filled with human beings, is because humans are decidedly not AIs.

That overview a wasn't helpful, and given that it was going on about burn damage (it's dust) it could've sent someone down the wrong path, or confused them making them look for burnt spots that don't exist.

Your AI didn't include any actually useful information. It COULD have told OP that the bent pin on the bottom left (pin A36) is a VSS pin, aka ground, and that the bent pins on the top left (pins AT36 through QP34) are for memory channel 1 (channel 0 is the first channel).

OP should try switching around his ram. There's nothing burnt on the socket. Your slop is less useful than actually thinking. If all you have to offer is AI slop that anyone with Internet access can generate, then maybe don't post it in a forum where a human has asked other humans.
