If you have removed the front cover and "nearly" replaced it, the button can't quite reach the switch. :badpc: Always look for simple things first. They are the cheapest to fix. :cool: |

| 391683 | 2005-09-29 09:59:00 | Is this an AT power supply or an ATX power supply. If it's an AT remember that the switch terminals will have 240v mains supply on them. Be very careful if you are going to put a screwdriver across them. | lark (1313) | ||
| 391684 | 2005-09-29 14:45:00 | motherboard is very random. frm PSu to board instead of one set of wires (pretty clours, 8 pin thing i think) it has another blue an black wire with 4 holes in it. i pulled it out and lft other in an booted, the fan power was increased power and noise. hdd works fine. i tried boot with no ram as it would make a beeping noise, nothing happened, no POST 2 ide channels prevoiusly used 4 2 hdd and cdrw. 2 ram slots intergrated video 16mb (used seperate card as trial, no change) i really wanna no wat the seperate plug on motherboard is 4. if i plug it bak in the fan goes really silent pull it out and it returns to normal. it was orginally plugged in. i hav many hdds 2 use a no change |

| 391685 | 2005-09-29 19:48:00 | If this is a P4 motherboard, the 4 pin plug (like a small square power connection) is for the CPU, if this is a P4 CPU. So, it gives it some juice/power. Some motherboards, also have an EZ plug 4 pin plug on them (this looks like a molex power adapter plug), to supply power to the CPU, if there's no ATX +12v plug on the motherboard. It is also used for the CPU. What brand/model is the mobo and what kind of processor is on the motherboard/s?? |

| 391686 | 2005-09-29 23:59:00 | the one motherboard which is of particular decent standard is a VIA VT9......(unable to confirm as not working!) 16m internal video. It has a PIII 751mHz CPU. PSU is by Delta electronics Model DPS 120 EB output power cant exceed 85w!! but i this in the past is usffiecent for what i need (2 hdd +CDRW + network card) Other pc is a PIII 450mhz and i no for sure it all works as it was on monday. just the switch doesnt work. unsure on whether AT or ATX their old PCS but i only use them to muck around on as i hav a P$ to play games which i dont open. Maybe i could swap the motherboards over? and the CPUs the slower CPU has more RAM expansion (4) the other has less (2) the 751mhz VIA is a tower case the other is a desktop flat one |
