It seems like you're starting to experiment, but you haven't done it before.
Before starting, confirm the device is completely disconnected from power and press the power button to verify no residual energy remains. Avoid disconnecting everything simultaneously; proceed gradually. Certain components may detach easily, while others require more effort or a specific button press during removal. Consult your motherboard manual or directly on the board for precise instructions.
I understand why this feels odd—they quickly ruled out hardware. Just because it was tested in a store doesn’t guarantee you can completely rule that out. The main concern is probably the PSU; there might be an issue with your power supply as well, and a more robust PSU could handle it better.
I put everything back in place and still didn’t get anything. I also used a screwdriver to touch both the + and - on the power pins at once, but it didn’t work.
