| 240191 | 2004-05-30 09:27:00 | how do you short them out? | help_me (1501) | ||
| 240192 | 2004-05-30 10:43:00 | touch the 2 pins (the ones you pulled the on/off switch off) with a screwdriver or anything metal. that will a least rule out a fault switch. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 240193 | 2004-05-30 18:33:00 | Probably a silly answer. Have you checked that the wires from your start button etc. are plugged in correctly to the M/B. I know. I did it once and got the same trouble as you have. Jack |

| 240194 | 2004-05-30 20:27:00 | This is the pin layout of all PC Chips and ECS m/b's it can be a little confusing on these m/b's so I have made a diagram (don,t laugh) . . . . . . ) . . ) --- These 2 pins are the power switch pins . The best thing is to remove the m/b and just plug in the power with just the cpu and ram installed and just short those 2 pins above (small screw driver or such) if it does not go still then the ram, cpu, or the m/b are faulty (you need to isolate which one) I have fit probably 100 ECS and PC chips m/b's and not had a bad one yet, they are very reliable . good luck . |

| 240196 | 2004-05-31 00:11:00 | Personally Ive had nothing but issues with PC Chips motherboards. They are simply budget. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but even a Biostar motherboard would be better, these start at around $100 Incl GST for a good one.... The Ive had 5 PC Chips mobo's, and 2 were DOA :-( There's a sticker that's on the RAM that tells you to move a Jumper before installing the RAM and turning it on, Im guessing you followed that and double-checked again in the Manual that you've done it correctly?? I'd recommend you take it back if possible and get a slightly better quality one... Even ask the place you got it from if they can test if its DOA for you (They should do that at no cost). Hope this helps Chill. |
