Re : When i press the power button, the lights all light up, the cd rom
drive spins for a second and that's it. No fan, No Post, Blank Screen.
After a few seconds, it shuts off and then turns back on.
That is generic hardware fault, any faulty device can cause the problem.
The motherboard must be started with a minimal set of devices to troubleshoot.
Start motherboard with only CPU, power adapter connected (faulty battery can cause the problem), heathsink, display and one memory stick. Keep unplugged HD, optical units, keyboard, minipci cards etc.
If problem persists, eventually test the motherboard using a post card(
PCI & ISA PC Diagnostic POST CARD MOTHERBOARD TEST CARD) to ensure that new motherboard is not faulty, and then if cpu has not been replaced with the motherboard, replace CPU.
hummm.. interesting will try..
