A friend of my brothers has a computer that he used perfectly fine earlier until the other day. My brother tells me that he put it on the carpet for a while, and thinks it might be fried by static? However, the case is pretty solid, and it doesn't look like it would just die because it was on the carpet for a little while. I tried turning it on and it doesn't seem to POST. I see the CD and floppy drives light up but then I don't hear any beeps that indicate the computer is starting. I get no signal from the video card either.
Any ideas on what it could be? It has 2 sticks of DDR RAM(I'm not sure how much), an Athlon XP CPU on a Soyo motherboard according to the logo sticker on the fan.
The parts still work from what I know. I tested out his ethernet card and Audigy and they installed and worked fine on my computer.
Any help would be great. Thanks.
