570579 2007-07-20 11:04:00 I realise this is one of those questions people will be able to offer limited advice on (short of taking it back) but anything I could try would really help - just collected a new computer and it won't boot. The build checklist accompanies it which showed that the tech booted it successfully but as much as I try it just won't respond when I try to start it up - no noises, nothing happens. I've checked the O/I switch next to the power plug, tried different power plugs, different wall sockets, all that.

I guess the click-y power button on the front has lost its connection to the PSU or something? It's an Asus M2A-VM motherboard and Raidmax O2 302 case (with RX-500 PSU I believe).

Very frustrating...

If you cant hear a click or something, when u turn it on, whoever put it back together didnt do it properly.

There is an LED which indicates (according to the manual) whether the system is "on, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode" - which is not on when it's plugged in and switched on on the PSU at the back. Presumably it should be...

The button on the front clicks mechanically (the plastic) but it does that when the computer's not plugged in. Nothing else.

570583 2007-07-20 11:40:00 I think the LED should be on. Does the PSU have a 110V/240V switch? Is any power cable in the case looks like disconnected? developer (4447)

570585 2007-07-20 16:22:00 have you ensured that
(1) The power connector to the motherboard is plugged in correctly?
(2) The CPU power connector is plugged in correctly?
