I believe a power surge toasted my power supply the other day, so I
replaced it with a new 350W ATX PSU. After removing the burnt psu, I
screwed the new psu into the case, hooked the ATX power supply to the
motherboard, and hooked up power for various components (HD's,
CD-ROM's). The motherboard's pilot light turns on to signify that it's
getting power, but when I press the case's power button... nothing. No
fans, no sound, no disk spinning, no signs of life at all (besides that
pilot light being on). Am I forgetting something?

I inspected all the components (and the motherboard and cpu) and none
of them appear (or smell) to have been damaged.

Where do I go from here? Any help would be appreciated.

Motherboard: DFI AK70 (AMD 750 cpu).

PS, forgive the cross-post -- I don't have a news host and google is
giving me errors when I try to post to some of these groups
individually.


If your MB has the 4-pin (square) auxiliary power connector, and you
haven't connected it, you will get that result.

Another possibility is that, while changing the PS, you accidentally
disconnected the power button connector. It's small and easy to
pull off its header.
