It's still possible you have killed something less vital (or that it coincidentally died by being moved about rather than getting static zapped).
I'll assume you have already checked that all expansion cards are properly seated and that both ends of all data cables are still firmly in etc. So the next step is to take them all out! Remove any expansion cards apart from the graphics one, remove all data cables from the MoBo end and unplug the power from all drives, and remove any external connections except keyboard and then see what happens. Dead CDs etc are surprisingly good at making machines look dead until you unplug them, been there, spent days diagnosing that.
If that doesn't work, you could even try taking all the RAM and the graphics card (assuming it is a card) out and see if you at least get a beep code.
