I just bought this from Misco a few days ago, and since plugging it in, I've seen no sign of life. I can't get any video from it no matter WHAT I try, and I'm starting to feel very frustrated and frightened by the thought I've been conned into buying something that doesn't work. I've trawled the internet for several days now looking for solutions, and bought several different RAM cards. I'm now juggling these around trying to return them before the return date runs out. I've had complete hell trying to get this to work. Basically, it seems to work, but there is no video. There is no beep code as the thing has no MoBo speaker. I've tried several screens to no avail, and it's getting me angry, as returning something of this size will prove very difficult. I like the design of the thing and want to get it working, but am tired of trying thousands of stupid solutions that cost me every penny I own. Please help me...
Hi Sam,
Don't ever get frustrated by a Shuttle, ahum, they're marvelous, but just "a little" strange behavior ... they are very sensible to the cell-battery; if the voltage drops below 1 volt... i have been ripping my hair out in the beginning of my Shuttle period... as said they just don't boot... get a multimeter, carefully get the cell battery (ya know, the little round zilver one on the motherboard, check the voltage and replace if V < 2V. If the cell battery has not taken out completely... we always take the cell bat. out to avoid discharging when keeping it in the box for a longer time.
So first check if there is one in at all...
!!! whatever you do inside your baby, get yourself grounded !!! a static voltage can destroy the little bagger...
--- Then you should check the jumper of bios reset. Could be it is in position "I" this should be changed to cover the "0", its very clearly described in the manual you can download @ <a href> http://us.shuttle.com/barebone/Models/SG41J1_PLUS.html

download the manual and try to read it careful where the bios is described.
in 2nd stage it could be the memory, which is not inserted correctly, meaning not seated well. ( no offense, but it happened to me too... ;-)
Shuttles are different to handle...
- Also check, what speed the DDR stiks are... and also, if they are supported by the board.
- Check if you per error got some ECC mem stiks, they would not run. I remember going through such a case too...
as said, check if the compatibily book says if the mem-sticks you own are compatible.
- Then check if some wire is loose from the mobo to the disc, DVD evtl.
-- Check the wires from the front contacts to the mobo... maybe loose contact...
--- Last i would set the BIOS reset jumper to empty BIOS position , leave it there for approx a minute or 10... and if that does not help, check if maybe a addon VGA card inside is not well seated. or some other addoncard.
and lastly there can be some problems in the hdd itself, cables to discs, short-circuit on the underside of mobo or at the outerlast the thingy is broken and yore doomed to try to get your bucks back...
Hope i could be of any help mon ami
If not, just come back and write what happened, all volks here are glad to help,

Hi bart, please re-check you're memory. See page 1-17 in you're user manual. (Read everything)!
You're Asus board can not use 184-pin DDR DIMM's.
Also check the QVL list for supported memory page's 1-18 & 1-19.
I did not see Corsair on either page.
You're board can only use 240-pin DDR2 memory. Please read the "Notes" at the top of page 1-18.
If everything (Regarding memory) is within the Asus specifications than clear the cmos/bios & re-boot again. If you're system still does not boot than remove one DIMM & try again.
Asus warrants their boards for three years. Call Asus tech at
1-812-282-2787 EST, IL 8:00AM to 5:00PM. The call is on you but the service is free. It's worth every dime.
Good Luck & Kind Regards.
Would you be kind enough to let me know what Asus suggested? (If it comes to that).
Mike

Try another (Known good monitor). Or try you're monitor on another system.
Remove all memory except 1 DIMM. Double check all data cables (internally) & power cables. Remove the added video card. Try booting the system. Watch for the case LEDs to flash/blink, listen for hard drive spin up /cd-rom spin up. Lastly pull the battery & check with a volt meter. Bios battery should test no less than 3 volts. Post the correct MD rev.

The problem is with your RAM. Try installing the RAM in another slot. Install your AGP card slowly. I can assure about your motherboard yet you have no problem without assembling. Keep informing.
SOURCE: abit nf7-s v2 running well. Starts up no video no post no beeps.
Try replacing RAM on other slot.

configure en bios que no se prenda cuando se conecta la fuente a la corriente o cuando se prende la fuente con el interruptor, si puedes entrar a la bios en algun momento eso es en la opcion de soft-off by power buton, aunque esto no tiene nada que ver con que la placa base no arranque
en realidad yo tengo identificado el problema, tengo una solucion pero varias hipotesis, la solucion es que si apagas y prendes varia veces termina por prender tambien puede probar desconectando la coneccion atx en la board y volver a conectarla por lo que tengo una hipotesis que puede ser la fuente de alimentacion, pero no me convenso de eso, tambien puede ser sierto deterioro de la memoria por que otro problema es que prende pero es como si no tuviera memoria la verdad es que no he probado en pero tampoco me convenso de esto pero yo deduzco que lo mas posible es que esta board tiene un sistema de control proteccion interno contra subidas y bajadas de corriente pero que no trabaja muy bien y eso que yo le tengo una superfuente de alimentacion debe ser una proteccion relacionada con overclo que solo se hace a travas de un programa que se instala pero estoy seguro que se puede solucionar instalando el programa y haciendo overcloc pero tengo que probarlo cuando tenga tiempo, en si la board es muy buena
bueno la solucion que yo le di fue hace el cambio en el bios para que se pueda prender por el boton de encendido de la board, la hago prender conectando y desconectando el cable atx varias veces hasta que el ventilador del procesador se mueva un poquito enese momento uno sabe que ya hiza bien el circuito y la encendemos con el botan de encendido de la board, si usted prueba se va a dar cuenta que la puede apagar y prender desde el boton de encendido de la board no molesta tenga cuidado de no darle apagado a la fuente desde el boton de la fuente o desconectando el cable d alimentacion, aunque lo que yo recomiendo en verdad es hacer overcloc supongo que asi deja de joder en el encendido aunque no lo he probado pero lo voy aprobar mas adelante estoy seguro que es eso
otro problema que presenta tal ves a raiz de la misma causa es que deja de reconocer los discos sata 1,2 para esto la solucion es jompear el clr_cmos y si no le resulta tiene que desactualizar la version de la bios a la version f1 arrancar y luego actualizar la bios nuevamente a la version f9 o f10 yo recomiendo lo original y luego volver a colocarle el jomper al clr_cmos y arrancar luego quitarlo y arrancar y a ahi si le reconoce los disco sata nuevamente
yo descubri que la boar despues de un tiempo supone que le cambiaron los valores para overclo aunque no se le halla echo nada y no deja prender para cuidar la integrida de la board, voy a tratar de hacerle overclo para ver si se soluciona todo pero en esta board el overclo se hace con un programa especial
alguna gente supone que son incompatibilidades del chipset nforce 4 con discos maxtor sata pero eso no lo creo, por que se les demora arrancando windows y entonces lo que hacer es no instalar los drivers del ide pero eso no tiene mucho que ver con que prenda o que reconozca los sata, y otro problema es que no reconoce la totalida del disco pero eso es falta de drives adecuados para xp
bueno suerte
