I have had this motherboard sitting around for a long while.... I finally got around to test it in a new small case that I also had for long... and when I pushed the power on, absolutely nothing happened. Normally if you have a problem, you see the fans running for a second and go off, but here, nothing.
Then I suspected a Short, so I pulled the mobo out of the case and placed it on top of a newspaper. Same result., nothing.
I thought may be the power supply was too small for the 2.4C CPU, so I installed a 2.0A. Same symptom. Nothing.
Then I pulled out one of the memory modules just in case, and connected the mobo to another power supply. Same again, nothing.
I checked the continuity of the startup push button and its ok. I have a digital voltmeter, but I am not sure where to measure...
If I had to guess, I would think the motherboard does not send to power on signal to the power supply, or may be it is totally dead.
I have built many systems in my life but I am lost here... Any ideas?
