[n]SOS, Motherboard not responding, NO BIOS display

[nirav]

Hi there all,
My PC with following config was working fine before:
----
Intel P-3 550MHz
Intel CA810E main board(video + sound)
20GB HDD
128MB SDRAM (64+64)
Other perpherals
-----
Well, I tried to put the aditional RAM (I must have inserted badly!) for installing new OS in short time, and I as I switched on the PC, I smelled some burning and switched it off quickly...
Then i tried to switch it on with my prev config and no power was going to any of the components!!!
Then, I just removed the SMPS (PSU) and get it repaired now after attaching it again my default config is not working at all.
Symptoms:
- PSU fan, CPU fan are working fine
- Motherboard has its own led, that is glowing
- Other perpherals are getting power
- Display is not working (Monitor is going in power saving mode, by blinking led on it)
- No keyboard detection
- No single beep sound from board
- Just led of HDD glowing continues then shutting down after some time
- If i remove RAM, beep sound is comming saying "no RAM"

I think some chips on board must have been fried...!!!!

Any suggestion will be most helpfull..

Thanks,
Nirav

I think yer screwed but what do I know. Smoke is never a good sign. Perhaps you will be able to salvage a few parts. That's pretty crazy that when you remove the RAM, it beeps saying there is no RAM. 🙂 j/k

Time to do some shopping - an upgrade wouldn't hurt ya.

Thanks,
the issue is resolved. I get my m/b repaired. The RAM ckt was fried due to inserting the RAM reversely.🙁
