I bought a pc a few months ago. Custom built and it worked perfectly fine for about a week. As usual one day I go to turn it and it wouldn’t. I haven’t had the money to fix it so i’ve left it on the side but I want it fixed. When I flick the power switch my NZXT display turns of for a split second along with 1 led light on the motherboard. But again turns off in a second. There is no response to pressing the power button. Please help 😭

Question - Does x570 aorus elite wifi have debug lights

Trying to troubleshoot a x570 aorus elite wifi motherboard for a friend
Board powers up just fine but doesn't post. I don't see any debug lights
on the board to tell what stage of the post it's stuck on. So my question is
Does it even have debug led's. I looked but didn't see any. I tried debug...

#

Looks like these motherboard doesn't have debug leds
