I mean the little piezoelectric speaker that plugs into the front panel connector header.
The one that will beep when you POST.
Or not.

Given that you haven't noticed that your power led connector is a 3-pin attachment I won't be at all surprised if you've connected the speaker incorrectly, or anything else for that matter.
Have you tried reading the manual at all? It is amazing how that can help occasionally.
BTW, black is negative, but that is only important if it is a Piezo-electric buzzer. An ordinary miniature speaker is not polarity sensitive.
With reference to the Front panel connector, red goes on pin 14, black goes on pin 20.
Best way forward is to disconnect everything you can, including removing any cards (including graphics). The only thing connected should be the cpu, ram (just one stick) internal speaker and power switch. Start from there and see if you get any post beeps.

You fry your system and then you continue to haphazardly build it? When will you learn?
So the mobo is dead or what?
If not, try redoing the power wiring's, making sure that all the power wires are secure on their proper parts.

Is the power supply connected properly? Did you connect the extra 12v ATX 4 pin connector to the motherboard?
Is the power supply good? Maybe the short blew it too.

yeah all that is connected fine
I don;'t have another mobo to test it on thats the big problem.
but if the power supply was screwed wouldn't the fans not go or power not even turn on?
