mikejd1 Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 ok, I've had it... I have 3 motherboards right in front of me and two towers with TWO battery backs, 1 in each. I plug in the ATX plug from Tower 1 into all three mother boards and NO power. I plug in the POWER from tower 2 into all THREE motherboards, and no power. SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE??????!?!??!?!?!?! I even tested 3 plug outlets in my house and none work. Their is no way all three boards a fried when I used 2 earlier in the week and decided to test them when the actual motherboard i am working on wasn't powering up. Any suggestions?

Mike11212 Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Is there a switch in the back of your power supply where the plug goes in. If there is. Is the Line pushed down. If it is make sure that the cables are properly connected to your Motherboard. Positive with Positive negative with negative if you have any Extra USB ports make sure there connected the right way. Make sure you have the right ram etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejd1 Posted February 15, 2002 Author Share Posted February 15, 2002 No, I am just trying in with NOTHING on the board but the POwer cable plugged in. With this, the tower fan should turn on. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike11212 Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Aight so you have a fairly new power case. When I said Old Power Supply is the power supply that has a cable comming out of it and goes inthe front of the case and its the button you push to turn the computer on... Your Power Supply needs your mother board to be connected to the case cables for it to even start. If you just plug it in. Nothing will happen. You need to connect the cases Power Switch to the motherboard THe Power Led the Reset Led Actually you really dont need to connect the led's just the Power. The cable you need says Power SW on it.

mikejd1 Posted February 15, 2002 Author Share Posted February 15, 2002 so in order for anything to work, i need POWER LED in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike11212 Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 not the Power LED Just the Power SW The Power LED is just for the light But Make sure you put positive with positive and negative with negative if you put them in backwards you **** the motherboard. lol kidding if it doesnt turn on with the Power SW in 1 way flip it around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
