Another issue:
As I mentioned (I think?) he cannot turn off his computer using the power button on the front. However, the problem is that he also cannot turn it on using the power button on the front. As soon as he toggles the switch on the back of the computer from "Off" to "On", the...
Turns out he described it to me wrong:
It was:
CMOS
OXX
123
PWD
OXX
123
Which matches what the documentation says it should be normally. To be safe, we followed the guidelines to reset the CMOS (changing the CMOS jumper from 2-3 to 1-2 for 5 seconds and then back to 2-3)
I'm...
From how he has described it to me, both 12 & 13 are actually columns of 4 pins each (pic shows what looks like 3). If we call the power supply the "top" end of the computer, then jumpers 12 & 13 were both placed at the "top" end of their respective 4-prong row.
i.e.
12 (X=jumper, O=unused...
I'm assuming the power supply is correctly hooked up, as the CPU & graphics card fans come on as does the disk drive. If we take the PSU to get tested for being defective, what is it we need to ask them to test for? I'd like to make sure it gets done right, there aren't many people to choose...

Let's consolidate to that thread? It also has pics/answer to the question you were asking about the bridges. I'll delete this thread if I can.
At the moment even with the new graphics card removed & the monitor hooked up to the intergrated graphics card, we still get "no signal/ color test".
I'll ask him to try it again and see if he even gets a POST beep when the new graphics card is removed, he does not get a POST beep when it is...
I should mention that, before installing the new power supply & graphics card the system did boot & load windows properly just using the intergrated graphics.
Hello all,
Having a bit of a technical problem. Actually, to add to the complexity it isn't even me who's having it, it's my brother. Of course with his computer out of commission he can't browse the forums so I thought I'd post on his behalf.
He bought a brand-new Dell Inspiron 530, and...
