I posted about this problem before. HP Pavillion 550

PC powers up but nothing happens.

Nothing on the monitor except for the power saver countdown and then
blackness. Tried another monitor, same thing.

no power to the keyboard

hard-drive is non existent. Tried another new drive and the same thing.
Normally you hear the drive working away.

Tried a PCI video card. same thing happens.

Fans and heatsink all work.

Any help is appreciated. I am thinking the motherboard is toasted.

Try clearing the BIOS (CMOS) either through a jumper or by removing
the battery. Look at the mobo manual to see how to clear the
CMOS.
