Won't power on

Aug 13, 2009

- I had the same problem about a year ago, but solved it by shortcutting the power Switch-pins on the keyboard with a little skrewdriver. I read that somewhere, tried it and it worked. Now I've unplugged all drives, the mouse and the keyboard.Connected are all cards, 3gb memory and the EZ-plug( 12V for the CPU). Have a cheap USB-mouse with a converter-plug to a normal mouse-connection.That mouse has a bright blue LED, and when connected, it still shines bright. Also the green LEd on the mobo is on, indicating there is a current on the mobo. Thanks for any advise.....

- I took out the memory, disconnected the IDE-cables, took out the PSU and connected it to an old motherboard I had laying around and an old hard-disk , short-circuited te power-on switch - pins on that motherboard, and the fans started to spin,and the board started to boot. So the power-supply is OK. I put it back in, connected everything back again,short-circuited the power-on pins on the board and also there the fans started to spin. So itwas back alive again. Perhaps it had something to do with static electricity. Thanks for help and good vibes !
