I have a motherboard problem (ASUS P4p800 SE). When the main power connector is plugged in the board is powered (indicated by cpu fan spinning just fine), however, if i try powering up with the 4 pin power connector in place it's dead. Sometimes the fan might kick forward ever so slightly. I obviously assume it's a short but can this be repaired? and more so can I repair it at home?

- hi Krishmaqvan,
thanks for your resp. At the very least you've given me hope :) will try these methods when I get home from work and let you know how it turned out.
You can look for faulty components on board with an ohmmeter on the ohm setting. Check each connection to see if there is any resistance ratings.

Hi, thanks for responding (and so incredibly soon!!) I pretty much know it's the 4 pin connector, but can these kinds a things be fixed? at home?

It may just be the power supply. That can sometimes be tested by a good computer store. Other wise the only good test is with a new power supply. That's cheaper than replacing the main board and figuring out its the power supply. And yes, the power supply can easily be replaced.
First pull cmos cell from motherbord for 10 minutes .
So all settings of bios are back to factory defaults.
Then check.
If till face problem Reconnect ATX connector to motherbord from smps.
Some times this problem occurs becasue of SMPS it is square box on back top side of cpu .
Change it then check.
Some times bord grounding problem.
So open your motherbord and check it in out side of cpu .
