My 7 year old AM3+ motherboard has broken overnight. It powers on, but does not boot (no picture, no beeps). I checked RAM, CPU (with another AM3+ board), PSU - all components works properly so it is a motherboard fault.

- no shorted mosfets
- BIOS chip works (I could read its content with a programmer)
- RTC running (it consumes ~4ยตA from the battery)
- CPU and chipsets (NB / SB) are getting warm after power on motherboard
