A Gentoo desktop of mine won't turn on anymore. I was hoping it was
the power supply but I've installed a new one which doesn't fix the
problem. Is there a sure way to know if the motherboard needs
replacement or if I have two dead power supplies?

I removed everything from the motherboard and even tried another CPU

I should have said before that every

Have you tried to reset your BIOS? I

Battery out, short-circuit it's contacts on the mobo while pressing the
power button and then put it back and try to turn it on. But that is the raw
way to do that, hahaha.
The idea is for you to change the jumper

this is a very certain way to destroy the mobo.
I don't know how this is in newer mobos, but I have certainly seen ppl doing
that without any problem.
no.
Don't press power. Don't even get close to power. Just set the jumper,
wait
every mobo manual I ever read (and I read a lot) said the same: set the jumper
and don't turn on the box. Never turn on the box with the jumper set, or
mainboard might be destroyed/rendered unbootable.

Depends on the board type. I've already seen boards which
