7010 no start

This unit sat for a couple of years. I now need it. I had to replace the CMOS battery. When plugged in to power, LED does not light. When I press the diagnostic button, LED lights up solid green, so no physical problems. What to do?

    If your spare psu is verified working (not just turning on by itself by jumping pins w paper clip, but powering on another motherboard to POST in a different pc), then consider replacing 7010 MB.  
    used MB inexpensive on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/393576936312?epid=1963693678&hash=item5ba3037378:g:OIoAAOSwhBdhQ4Cm

    If CMOs battery is already replaced w a brand new cr2032, try clear CMOs settings by resetting RTCRST jumper on motherboard.

    I thought a dead battery reset those. I will try.

    RTCRSTRTCRST

    1. Locate the 2-pin password jumper labeled PSWD on the system board.
    2. Remove the 2-pin jumper plug.
    3. Locate the 2-pin CMOS jumper labeled RTCRST on the system board.
    4. Move the 2-pin jumper plug from the password jumper to the pins on the CMOS jumper.
    5. Plug the power cable to the computer and wait for 10 seconds for the CMOS to clear.
    6. Disconnect the power cable from the computer
    7. Move the 2-pin jumper plug back to the password jumper.

    Do you have a spare working 24/4 pin psu from any old desktop to test 7010 motherboard?

    Well, I guess it's the MB. Power button would bring PS on. I jumpered PS to bring it on, but nothing from MB.

    Are you testing this using the spare working psu or original stock psu?

    A spare. I just looked at previous reply. It should have read: power button would NOT bring PS on.
