The PSU in my system went BANG! Smoke and everything - very dramatic.
I sourced a new PSU and the system is still non-operational.
System is: Supermicro X11SSL-F with Intel Core i3-6100, 2*16Gb Samsung ECC DDR4 2133MHz
When system is plugged in and PSU turned on the BMC Heartbeat LED on the mobo is blinking, so the BMC is functioning normally.
But when I use the case power switch (have also tried bridging posts in case button faulty) I get nothing - no post, no fans, no drives spinning up. Nothing.
The manual troubleshooting section states
Assuming the onboard speaker is working - I'm getting no beeps with or without the RAM installed.
The blunt response to this is per the above is - replace the motherboard.
BUT surely if the mobo was ok but cpu cactus the same thing would happen?
(of course I don't have a spare cpu to test that either)
Are i3 LGA1151 cpu's still even available?
I'd rather avoid replacing the mobo unless I can be absolutely sure that's the problem.
I really don't know what to do at this point. Advice welcome.

The manual troubleshooting section states
System Boot Failure If the system does not display POST (Power-On-Self-Test) or does not respond after the power is turned on, check the following:
1. Check for any error beep from the motherboard speaker.
• If there is no error beep, try to turn on the system without DIMM modules installed.
• If there is still no error beep, replace the motherboard.
• If there are error beeps, clear the CMOS settings by unplugging the power cord and contacting both pads on the CMOS Clear Jumper (JBT1).
2. Remove all components from the motherboard, especially the DIMM modules. Make sure that system power is on and that memory error beeps are activated. 3. Turn on the system with only one DIMM module installed. If the system boots, check for bad DIMM modules or slots by following the Memory Errors Troubleshooting procedure in this Chapter.
