| 332810 | 2005-03-10 09:57:00 | Ok, from my previous post regarding the MS-COA I have transplanted the Compaq PC into a tower case. Now the only problem I have is that I don't know where to connect the power switch lead on the motherboard. There doesn't appear to be any sort of indication on the mobo itself and I've Googled for a while now and have come up with nothing. Does anyone know what motherboard is fitted in a Compaq Presario 3200 desktop slimline case all I can make out at the moment is... Socket 370 CPU SD RAM 133Mhz NO AGP slot Chipset is unknown but its definitely an Intel Chipset of some sort. cheers chiefnz |

| 332813 | 2005-03-10 22:46:00 | If it was an AT motherboard the switch lead went from the PSU to the front of the case. Your tower case may be ATX. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 332814 | 2005-03-10 22:51:00 | Hmm no replies yet :( Umm, can you post a photo? Of what this thing looks like?? And what the mobo looks like?? (If u can that is, if its not in the case now)? Is it like the long lead u see on most brought systems?? It's connected from the original ps and goes to a fitting in the front of the case, under the on/off button and it looks like a white push button thingy?? Umm another thing u can do is, there are online technicians at the hp site . You can chat to them directly - in real time like now (all u have to do is, type ya name, and valid email) . You cant copy/paste what the technician/s say, but they send u an email of the convo between u and them . The only thing is, u may get cut off (from this site often) .

| 332816 | 2005-03-11 03:06:00 | so PaulD , if this board of chiefnz's is in fact an AT board , it is likely it won't have a power switch connector on the motherboard ? If this is so is there a work-around to allow an AT board to be fitted into an ATX case , or does the ATX power supply need to be changed to an AT one ? Only see one AT power supply mentioned on the Ascent site , and I think it may be a typo [ enermax e265p - dead link] . | KatiMike (242) | ||
| 332817 | 2005-03-11 03:09:00 | Oh ok then :( So, what model is this Compaq exactly?? If it isnt the 3200?? BUT as PaulD said, it might be an AT power supply, and the case is an ATX case?? And the mobo maybe, wasnt made to work with any other case, or power supply? I would do a search for your exact model, and do the same procedure. If u cant suss it out...And get technical help online. |

| 332818 | 2005-03-11 03:12:00 | It's definitely an ATX board. It has an ATX power connector on it. As I said before I'll get a pic and post it shortly cheers chiefnz |

| 332819 | 2005-03-11 03:28:00 | If it was an AT supply, it would be already (permanently) wired to its mains voltage switch. It also wouldn't plug into an ATX motherboard. The connectors are not compatible. Not even with extreme force. ;) | Graham L (2) | ||
