Troubleshooting PC: Is It the Motherboard?

AI Thread Summary
The user is experiencing a significant issue with their PC, where it powers on but shows no signs of booting, indicated by the CPU fan starting and then stopping, with the power LED remaining on and no beeps. The power supply has been ruled out as the problem since it works with another computer. There is speculation that the ASUS motherboard may be the cause, as others have reported similar issues with ASUS motherboards. It is advised to consider getting a replacement motherboard, but caution is recommended before making that decision. Consulting authorized service personnel is suggested to accurately diagnose the motherboard's condition, as there may be underlying issues affecting its functionality.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
