Fried Asus P3B-F

[Morten Lundstrøm]

Hello

I fried my P3B-F when installing a RAID controller in a PCI slot, I had
forgotten to unplug the ATX PSU and something made a small smoke cloud next
to the PSU.
Can't turn it on at all now, the LED on the motherboard is indicating that
the board is powered.
If I force the PSU to start by shorting green and black wire the CPU fan
turns on but the screen is blank.

Is this fixable or should I just throw it out and look for another board?
(Slot 1 boards are quite cheap...)

It would appear that the circuitry that turns on the
power supply, along with some other items, is
blown up. This is a very old board and is not
worth spending money on it.
