I've got a mobo where the led comes on when the power supply is
connected but powering on does absolutely nothing. I've even tried
shorting the power button pins to rule out power button problem but
still nothing.

Is it dead? Can I do anything with it or is it new mobo time?

Try resetting the bios...
there is usually a jumper new the battery.

Also...try the board with a minimal hardware configuration...
it's possible a component other than the mobo has failed.

If you find that the mobo is definately bad...you might as well replace
it...
repairs are rather impractical

Good idea. Havent tried this....
