I know this more or less belongs in the hardware forum, but I figured more people would be looking at OT @ this hour anyway.
So, I have an ASUS A7V (straight up) w/ 900 Mhz T-Bird, 256 Pc133, Network, Geforce, Sblive, IBM HDD.
Anyway, so I powered down my computer (rarity), and now it won't come back on. I dunno if it got too hot or what.
I've done a search for this issue. I don't think it's the power supply 'cause I shorted the green & black wires and it did turn on. But is it supposed to stay on if I take the wire out? ('cause it doesn't)
And I don't think it's the power switch (which I broke by now anyway :| ). Is it possible to turn the computer on by shorting the jumpers for the power switch directly on the mobo? ('cause I tried that and that didn't work either) I took the RAM out, reset the cmos jumper, unplugged everything and removed everything but the CPU.
That green indicator light does come on when I plug the PS into the mobo, and the plug into the PS; but still not 'powering on'.
Any ideas??? I desperately don't wanna have to buy a new mobo if I fried it. Do you think my CPU will be okay? I never overclocked it or ran it beyond specs at anytime.
On a side note: Good thing I spent the $150 for an old PII 233 today (to start learning linux) or I wouldn't be able to post eh?
