power source DOA?

[alphasigmookie]

I purchased a new power supply the other day from newegg. A thermaltake purepower 420W which recieven over 200 positive reviews. When i got it I removed my old power supply and even followed the directions durring the install process, but when i hit the power button....nothing. when i flipped the switch on the power supply the light on my lan socket lit up, so some power is getting to the motherboard, but when i hit the power button for the system all i hear is a slight pulse and then nothing. Is there anything else i can try, or should i just get an RMA and be done with it?

Hmm. What type of mobo are you using? Is it a p4 or an AMD system? Make sure your main plug going to your mobo is secure.

Need more details!

Recheck all connectors. Try flipping the back power switch while holding the front panel button down.

Also make sure you have the proper voltage selected!! 115v IIRC.

If you or your friends have a power gague, (could be as simple as a light on a wire) check it with that, I've used it before to check the viability of PS.

Thanks for the input, but i think it's dead. I tryed taking it out and re-connecting it, the voltage is right, i tried the flipping the switch while holding the power button. I can't really think of anything else to do. newegg has a good return policy anyway. might as well send it back.

system:
amd 2100+
epox 8rda+
1gb ram
