A friend of mine give me a pc to repair. The problem was it would not switch on. I thought either motherboard dead or power surply was at fault. I plugged a different power surply in only to find flashing on-off switch and flashing keyboard lights. Any ideas, is the motherboard dead? Any help would be much appreciated....

Have you tried clearing the cmos?

The thing is when I plug the new PSU in, the lights start flashing without even pushing the power button on the front of the case. i will try clearing the bios to see what happens.

Cleared cmos and still the same, I think when the original PSU gave up it some how damaged the motherboard.
