Ok here's the story,
I have two systems with similar parts that I built running already so I think I am capable. i just put together a complete system with these parts:
POS case
MSI pro 2a
750 Duron
256MB ram
CD HD etc.
SO I go to turn it on and no power (power supply suspected). I remove each part one by one testing until I am left with only a case, PS, chip, and motherboard. I think it's the PS so I take it out and put it in my other case PS clicks on (setup same as above). SO the power supply is good so I try switching chips, chip is good. Case suspected (hey I don't see how, but I thought it wasn't grounding good) put suspected Mobo in other case, and you guessed it, no turn on. SO after trying everything I know it's the Mobo. Is there anything else I can try? This mobo is brand new, just got it today. Also I have never been in this situation before where I got mailed a bad part, how do the online vendors usually handle this? Do I send it to them or MSI. This is making me angry, please help!
Oh yeah and if I do get a new mobo(purchased from tcwo) how long is this process usually? I'll be upset if I have to wait like weeks. Of course not as upset as I'll be if I don;t get a new one!
Thanks for the help...
