Our 1 y/o son toppled over our 1.5 y/o home-built computer and now it is kaput. All the fans start up, HD powers up, DVD opens/closes, but system doesn't boot (no beeps), keyboard lights do not toggle on/off, no video.
I have checked for loose/missing jumpers. I have reseated cards.
Asus A8N32-SLI, XFX 7800GT, AMD x2 3800, 2 GB Corsair RAM, Ultra 600W PS, Antec P180, Windows 64-bit XP Pro
Have you checked the power cables that connect to the motherboard? Assuming it was not mechanically damaged in the fall it sounds like it's not getting power.

The fans, HDD, and DVD all get their power from individual connectors, but you're right about the LED's. They get their power from the motherboard. I was just thinking that the power connector might have dislodged in the fall. I don't think the connectors would be damaged by the fall.
Another unlikely problem (but worth checking) is the processor. Could it have been dislodged in the fall? Take the CPU fan off and verfiy the processor is still securely in it's socket.

Thanks for your reply. Why would part of the motherboard not get power but the fans/LED/HDD/DVD still power up? I reseated the 4-pin ATX12V and 24-pin EATXPWR power cables but I did not thoroughly inspect them for damage, thinking that since everything else powered up they must be okay. I can check them tonight.
