You might want to double check the motherboard and
make sure it's not shorting to the case. Also, I've seen
a no display problem generated from not having a modem
card in all the way. So you might want to strip the
system and boot up with the barest of essentials.

You mentioned the power supply was replaced and
by reinserting the power cord the system would work.
This sounds like another area to investigate. Double
check your power supply and connectors to the
motherboard.
