Comp running nicely...then....it wont turn on!

[UncleRonnie]

I was on my comp, turned off... then tried to turn to it on... AND nothing. i have tried everything... Clearing the CMOS, Changing My P/S, removed all cards, removed the video card and nothing. I am absolutely at my whits end. I have no idea what to do. i tihnk it may be the power button b/c the case is about 5 years old. But i have no idea how to find out... i have heard of this "screw driver trick but i dont know exacty how to do it. PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!! i have a 2 month old Sparkle 350 Watt power supply. Thanks!

This is the Highly technical forum. you would want to ask in Tech Support.

BTW, the screwdruver trick that you are refering to is where you short the 2 pins on the mainboard that go to the power switch with a screwdriver. this will tell you if your switch is bad.
