Replacing Mobo with Identical Mobo

[david]

Motherboard fried, so I replaced the current one with a new one. This new one for some reason doesn't power the fans and doesn't boot. The only thing getting power is the power button.

When I swapped them out, I labeled all connectors and connected them back to where they need to go. I don't know what I did wrong but its still dead. I used same CPU, HD, and everything. The only thing i replaced was the motherboard.

Mobo: MS-7207 E-Machine

Is this new mobo fried aswell?!?! Please help.. If you need additional info, please ask!

It was probably not the Motherboard that went more like your power supply.

So starting the system results in no power to any components?

How did you figure that only the power button was getting power? The power button just closes a circuit that starts the power supply, so...

If none of the components are powering on, have you tried jump starting the PSU?

Was this rig working before? If so, what changed? If it wasn't, is this a new system?

I figured that the power button is getting power because it is lit in blue.

How do I jump start the PSU?

This rig is a friend of mines. It worked before, it died. I don't know what he did, but its dead. Case was still sealed.

How did you come to the conclusion that it was the motherboard? Sounds like it could be something else

Well a couple people looked at it, they said it might be the motherboard. Maybe they were wrong?

Soo...power button -> No fans -> No hard drives -> Nothing?

Google for "jump starting atx power supply", should get you to a link involving a paper clip and a green wire and black/ground wire on the ATX power connector.
