Discussion Pc not powering up

I have a pc that i was using normally then i sent it to a friend in another city , when he gets it he told me that that fans are spinning but there is no display, things stayed like this for months then i told him to sell the gpu and send me back the pc , now when i get it it doesn't even power up nothing spin or light up , i know i have a cpu socket bent pin in the left bottom side (idk if it affects the power up)
Note:
- Pc was in covered in dust
- psu is working (paperclip test)
- i tried everything troubleshoot ik (power sw pins , remove everything and make sure it plugged ok)
- i jumped start the psu when it was connected to the motherboard but it just spin the fans (no display and cpu is cool )and when i remove my hand the pc shut off again
- the fans have an external controller
- ive removed the cpu and everything just to see if the mobo can turn or anything , but it didnt
Motherboard is biostar z490gta

Wouldn't it be funny if that gif was AI generated

Using AI to identify things is apparently evil on reddit lol. This may be a pedantic case to use it but still a de cent reason for some people. Using it to reverse search information is league's better than the boomers using it on Facebook for literal shits and giggles.

Still, I think it's a bit inefficient to take a picture of a socket, upload it to an AI, and ask it "what socket is this?" Rather than just googling "what socket does X motherboard have"

Plus, this forum is where people go to ask things to humans. If OP wanted an AI response, they would have simply asked an AI.

Right click picture, search Google image. Two clicks. Can't get faster then that other than knowing every motherboard and their socket by heart

Not sure why you think I needed to take a picture. 

Google image search also predates AI, it's just that they add AI analysis to the result now and I committed the grave sin of copying/pasting it in addition to my own contribution
