He's dead Jim

Bah, think i've had my first ever computer die on me , nearly 5 years old though so i guess it was gonna happen sooner or later.

Received a new harddrive from the members market, slid that in without issue and put the side panels back on. Switched on the PSU, green light on the mobo but no life what so ever when i hit the power button on the front. Nothing happens, the green light on the mobo stays solid green, it doesn't fade or anything like i previously saw with a dead PSU, no fan spin up at all, no beeps. I've chucked the hard drive into my main computer and it works perfectly so it can't have shorted anything out on the computer. I've unplugged and put back in every connector, tried booting it with no hard drives plugged in at all.

I'm stumped. Time for the bin?

Five years for a mobo is good - especially if it's turned on and off every day.
Might be worth fault finding to make sure it was the mobo.
But fully working 5 year old parts are not so easy to find

 

[something daft already!!]

Have you cleared CMOS?

Aye, tbh i'm pleased with getting 5 years out of it, all that's been changed is a few extra sticks of ram chucked in there. Considering it cost my parents £350 five years ago and an extra £40 for the ram upgrade i think they should be pretty pleased with how long its lasted. Tbh i'm writing it off, bin job, start a fresh for windows 7.

Yus, no avail

Sounds like it may be the PSU don't try it in another board though its likely to toast that one as well.
