Dell Inspiron 9400 DF047 Processor Intel T7200

Recently changed with a new WX413 motherboard was dead.

The first time it booted the windows welcome screen and then logged in and suddendly switched off.. Now it never turn on and bios never boots

Yesterday i ran the diagonistic by pressing Fn + Power. The only parts fitted is GPU + MB + Screen + RAM + FAN + Processor

The first light blinks and the other 2 lights are slodily lit up.

Check on this website

It' says the processor is not detected...

How to detect the MB is faulty or Processor???
