Looks like it must be either a dead VGA card, or the case power-on
switch is not making momentary contact when pressed. To test that,
unplug it from the mobo header and either use a small screwdriver
to quickly 'short' the two pins it came from, or unplug the reset switch
too and plug that into the power switch pins, then press the reset button
which should turn it on.
As it's now an A7N8X deluxe, you could plug a pair of powered
speakers into the lime-green line-out audio socket on the back.
The vocal POST reporter should tell you what the problem is.
If this gives no sound at all, remove the VGA card and reboot -
you should then hear the voice report a graphics card problem.
It may be worth reversing the power LED connection on the
same mobo header - you will cause no damage if it's the wrong
way around.
