My experience with an MSI board was to take the battery out, AND short the bios clr (clear) jumper for 10 minutes.

I'm not sure if pressing the power button for 30 seconds is the documented way to "discharge the mobo" but normally these things have batteries.

If it's not a PC stuck in power save mode then it's probably a bad board. If someone does figure out how to get the PC out of this sleeping state let us know. The only thing I have not swapped out is the motherboard and the processor. I've tried swapping RAM, using different memory banks, different PSU, resetting the BIOS, and of course draining the power out of the board. When RAM is put back in it goes back to the same flashing blue light which also happens without RAM except there is then the beeping sound. I've tested the PSU, replaced the PSU, stripped the tower of all components leaving the just the power supply connected and I do get a continuous beeping sound which I would assume is due to lack of memory. The power light on the tower slowly flashes blue. When the PC is powered on there is no video signal going to the screen causing it to go in to power save mode. I personally broke the warranty seal on the case so I know nothing had been installed internally. The customer brought it in stating that the machine said that it found new hardware even though he had not added any peripheral devices to the desktop.
