ecs p4s5a/dx v5.1
i was browsing the internet with this pc when the display suddenly died. the power led and fans remained ON though. when i rebooted it would always hang at POST. if ever i get into the bios setup, it would hang before i could save. there were no beep codes, even when the ramsticks are removed.
- psu is ok, all fans are working
- reseated everything
- removed everything and tested on another pc, all ok
- caps look ok from top
- cmos cleared, battery replaced
when troubleshooting, i noticed the active led on the floppy are ON, but that's before i read about AMIBOOT. now, when i start it up, it won't POST anymore.
can i still revive this board?

the working fans are no guarantee the PSU is OK. Try another PSU.
And triple-check those capacitors. The slightest bulging or swelling means trouble.
