Why in the world are you disconnecting fans? Reconnect them PROPERLY
Odds are you connected something wrong or disconnected something that is required to initialize the mainboard.
This is assuming you have the power plugged into the wall, the on switch for the power supply is ON and the power supply is properly connected to the mainboard.

Er, have you tried replacing the fans (the ones you were removing)?
Just that sometimes retracing your steps helps solve some probs -- I doubt you can undo the whack though!A for effort F for ability.

Might want to wait until your friend returns before you break something else. LOL!
