I could put blow dryer on power supply board and it would come back on. Since I changed board nothing will come on. Tried 2 new power supply boards
Check the connectors that feed the board. When a blow dryer heats up the board it also heats the connectors. Maybe the blow dryer was heating something close to the board that might have a cold solder or poorly crimped connection. Go back to the original board after looking very closely at the connectors.

Make sure that the power button is conected to the right prongs on the mother board. On the writing next to the prongs it should say power.

Hi,
I would venture that "shows winfast on monitor" indicates the type of Video Card that your PC is using. Thereafter it should go to POST showing the motherboard, BIOS, memory count and others.
Since as you posted, after Winfast nothing follows, I can only suspect that you have a motherboard problem or at least a BIOS corruption.
Please post back the brand and model of your computer or at least what motherboard.
Good luck and kind regards.
Thank you for using FixYa.

Hi,
Based on your description, we can limit the fault to the power supply board and in particular to possibly 3~4 components:
blown fuse indicate a short in any of these.
As Jaime867 has suggested, in the absence of a readily available replacement board, component level might be the best alternative at the moment. Having posted the most likely culprits further narrows down your troubleshooting. Could you pls post back the part number of the smaller IC either 4 or 8 pins?
Alternately, pls check for the presence of a VDR, it would look like a coin (often green in color or something else) with 2 pins. They have been known to short out also and cause fuse to blow. One possible indicator is chipped or flaked of one side or a hairline crack on top. If it is chip, there would be a silvery color on the inside.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
Thank you for using FixYa.

Try a different CPU. and also try a completely different set of know good memory. If after this the system still doesn't boot up then then the motherboard they installed in defective and if that the case? Get your money back.

hello if you buy a new power supply it should be a straight swap good luck
