-------Original Message------- From: Bryon Daly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - I'm assuming that when you hit the power button, there is absolutely no effect? ***************
Well, once, and only once, when I had the cover off, pressing the power button caused the CPU fan to spin once. - On most modern PC's, the motherboard (MB) governs turning on the power supply, so a dead motherboard could possibly look like a bad PS. Unfortunately, this makes it tricky to directly test the power supply ******************** Yes, I was wondering if the loose cover might have produced a situation that could short the motherboard.... say static electircity or something? - After trying Erik's idea to reseat all the power plugs, if that doesn't help, try unplugging all the power connectors to the drives and case fans and stuff, except for the power to the MB. ******************** We'll see... I *know* that unplugging and replugging cords shouldn't be too difficult - but somehow it has always given me problems. Is there anything I should know before unplugging and replugging-in the colored cords from my powersupply? Thanks.
