477440 2006-08-09 19:05:00 I'm having big trouble with my pc. When I replaced an old cd drive in the pc the pc would not load up when I press the power button. It is really bugging me cos I cant figure out why. Every thing is linked up the same as the old. I have tried many different cd drives and still the same problem. I really hope someone out there can help me Please. Thanks. deandavinchi (10951)

Check the case power button wire has not come astray and is firmly pushed onto the motherboard header pin.

Checking the power cable to the mother board hasn't come out is first thing I would look at.

I have a friend who installed a new hard drive into his computer and was having the same problem, no power when pressing the on button, I suggested checking the cables going to the motherboard to make sure they hadnt been pulled out... still no luck...
finally I went and had a look for him, turns out he didnt even know about the switch on the back and it had been bumped to off accidentally when he opened the case up...
