Is there a way to recover that Mobo, or is it gone for good?

I bought a bunch of new parts and put them together, and the computer doesn't post! No video from onboard, no video from vga, no beeps, but everything is on.

I swapped parts here and there to check what was dead or not. PSU isn't the issue, as the old and new still give no answers. Old CPU and new CPU same deal. onboard and 2 vga cards are still dead screens.

even did the clear cmos trick. nothing.

only old pieces i have that weren't changed were the HDD, and the ram.

I made sure to check that everything is clamped in securely, and the CPU heatsink wasn't off. So I have a feeling I have a dead mobo...I can't check if the processor is busted, cuz the other mobo I have isn't the same chipset, but the CPU i'm dealing with is a day old. I've been having issues with this mobo for 3 days.

I have a feeling its a short, but is there a way to recover this motherboard?
