1132752	2010-08-30 05:42:00	I wouldn't go poking around.. there are voltages there, some things might not like it if you short them to other things... Are you sure "P35-121-16B9" is the correct number? I checked Chaintech's website as archived on Web Archive and there is nothing by that name. Yeah, there is a sticker on top of the USB/internet stack which says just that, so I must accept thats what it is. And thanks for the voltage warning.	curly (6655)

Considering the whole deal cost just 27 bucks and included motherboard plus an AMD XP2800+ CPU it would be logical to try the screwdriver method. I'd forgotten, but have used the screwdriver before. LED's not much use to me anyway, as the box is shoved deep under a table where I can't see it anyway ! thanks	curly (6655)
1132754	2010-08-30 05:57:00	Going by the location of the sticker you mentioned that is more likely to be the serial number or something. P35 made me think of Intel but if you are running an Athlon XP then it makes more sense to be the serial number. Is there anything written (silkscreened) on the board itself? Perhaps near the CPU socket or between the PCI slots?	Agent_24 (57)
1132755	2010-08-30 06:25:00	What a lot of fluffing about :p Most Front headers work the same way, as in two pins to make the board start, simply pressing the start button causes a short, which boots the board. This pin layout (www.intel.com) is quite common. Generally look on the board, sometimes they will have + & - right beside one another, simply touch a flat bladed screwdriver between two pins, sooner or later one set will kick the board into life as long as every thing else is Ok hardware wise. Theres been MANY times some boards dont have a + - showing, I've just run a screw driver along the pins to find out which ones are the Power. Could also be like This AMD header (www.imagef1.net.nz)	wainuitech (129)

My trusty screwdriver will be called apon tomorrow !	curly (6655)

Perhaps near the CPU socket or between the PCI slots? Nope, looked in both places you mentioned. Goggle finds the board, but no one seems to have a copy of the manual. Anyway a screwdriver should get it going tomorrow !	curly (6655)
1132758	2010-08-30 10:51:00	Does the pin arrangement look like These here (www.imagef1.net.nz) - they are from another Chaintech Board, power Pins are 6 & 8	wainuitech (129)
