Mobo - no power

[Hajime]

Okay.

Recently, got a spiffy new case and bought an Athlon 64 X2.

I've had a DFI NF4 Ultra for...forever and a day, since the week they were released.

Recently, it's been a bit flaky on and off, but it'd eventuall always work.

So, I put it in the new case, assemble the system, etc., everything is physically perfect.

I go to power on the system.

Nothing.

I dissassemble the system down to the bare necessities.

Nothing.

Thanks to the slide-out mobo try, I double-check everything in it. Make sure there are no shorts, etc.

Nothing appears wrong. The light on the mobo lights up. Even pressing the power button on the mobo and/or shorting the pins on the mobo does nada.

Suggestions?

Do you have a spare power supply to test?

Yup yup, sure do.

Tried it, trying it again now to see if anything changes with the bare bones.

That, my friend, was exactly spot on.

But I have some cheap-o Generic 350w 20-pin + 4 PSU working on it.

My Antec Neopower 480W shouldn't be dead, should it?

What should I look for? What could be wrong with the Antec?

Could be anything. I'm not one to take apart a power supply to try to fix it, I just get a new one.

See if you can get a replacement on the Antec.

Yeah, already put in an order for a 600W OCZ jobbie.

50% off deals on Newegg ftw .

But I'd really prefer to get this system working NOW if possible. Any ideas at all that I may be overlooking that don't involve opening up the PSU?
