My pc wont turn on at all after my sisters dog bumped into it. I will hit the power button and it wont boot i made sure everything was plugged in correctly, the power supply switch was turned on, the power cables plugged in and still it wont turn on. I've tried replacing the motherboard that didn't work, so I got a old power supply and grphics acard from my uncle and i tried those out and it turned on but i need help trying to figure out what needs to be replaced whether its the motherboard, the graphics card, or the power supply.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried starting the system up by crossing the power pins with a screwdriver?
ivory shore
Yes, but it wouldnt show a display

Okay so it turns on but there's no display?
ivory shore
yes

Honestly it's just a process of elimination at this point.
ivory shore
yeah i was thinking its the graphics card and the power supply

Okay so to recap, the system wasn't turning on until you replaced the PSU and the GPU. Is that correct?
ivory shore
yes

Did you make sure you plugged the display into the graphics card and not into the mobo by accident?
ivory shore
yes
hidden dagger
Have you tried going back to your old GPU?
ivory shore
yes

And the system still boots up but no display?
ivory shore
not exactly thats where it goes dead

Hmm... I think we would need some more system specs to figure this one out.
It's quite unlikely for two separate parts to cause the system not to turn on.

hmm yeah this is a old pc from my uncle i even went out of my way to replace the motherboard and it somewhat worked but not really how i wanted so i may end up just selling it
