Ok about that green standby led, it's normal, it should be on when you switch your PSU's ON/OFF to ON at the back. Now if I understand correctly your other board's standby led doesn'T even come on nothing - Well you ruled out your PSU. Now can you try swapping PSU - The reason I'm asking is that eventhough you put a jumper and your PSU came on outside your case, if I see your PSU in front of me I can tell right away but your board might not be coming on because of the OK power signal or your PSU is malfunctioning - any bent pins or problems upon visual inspection of the board's connector ?
take a voltage multimeter and measure the 5V & 3.3V from the 24pin connector ? and then post your reading. OR try swapping with another PSU that you plug on this motherboard. If after trying a new PSU or confirming that it's 5V output is functional, and confirming all cables are plugged in right, including the power switch tiny cable to the motherboard, then you have a defective board. I'm a little concerned that no fan activity, no led no nothing, not even HDD - and might be a little suspicious about the 5V OK signal to the board..... I have a hunch that it will turn on with another PSU, give it a try. Even if you had RAM problems, graphic card problems or CPU problems, the board would still turn on (fans, LED, HDD). Is there anything unusual on the board ? Anything burnt ? Is it shorting something in your case ?
