soft-power on now hard on
I have a PC with P6T "deluxe V2" mobo. Forby I turn it on at wall socket and I hear it come to life without pressing power button. Then when I shutdown from operating system, it does and screen goes blank, but the fans keep running.
I disconnected power button from mobo, methinks it were shorted, but it is still alive. I swapped power supply, and behaviour still the same. There is nothing in BIOS settings to influence this. So, PC is still of use, but just a bit annoying. Egad, that of the zillions of transistors on that mobo, one fails for these basic functions. |

Try unplugging all USB devices. If you got time, maybe you should pull the motherboard out of the chassis for careful testing. I have tried unplugging stuff (disks and RAM too). I had one PC that would do weird things if switched on with any USB device other than mouse. I did remove the mobo to check for loose screws, but nothing extraneous, just a lot of dust. |

Egad, that of the zillions of transistors on that mobo, one fails for these basic functions. - BIOS is: Computer, "come back to life" when plugging the Main House Breaker into the wall in the garage. Yea. If you've got good power supply units you're swapping, yea, then you've got a messed up mainboard. Yea. Sounds like the switch on the back to the PS is now your main ON/OFF. If you're not afraid, rewire the PS switch to the front of the case. Keep in mind you are talking about higher voltages here. You would want to do this right (having a ground for instance). I wouldn't, but I don't usually turn off computers (BIOS is also set to "wake computer" in the event of loss of main PWR that's restored). By the way, one of mine, when turning the PWR off in the front, as soon as I release it, the computer doesn't shut down but restarts itself. Takes an inordinate time to overcome the MB logic (10 seconds or so) for a proper shutdown. Annoying enough to either use the PS switch or, sometimes, yank the whole damn PS plug. |

Not that I didn't burn out a modern pressure washer's unusually large plug, within its accruement of electronics for serving ground services, when cleaning the roof. I'd probably approach it, though, to try and mimic whatever control switch lead in the pwr supply is wired to, and duplicate that by a similar switch, extending it to the front of the case for convenience. Then, again, a MB going spastic about power, wouldn't take much more, on me, for a reason to rebuild or try and swap it out for whatever's populating it. (Got something like that which happened last nite. A sound processing unit's associated capacitors finally gave up the ghost and it's main LCD display just cycles with light pulses. Being everything audio is conveniently rendered to digital streams, and it's of course a chip-based unit in/outputting red-laser S/PDIF, I can forgo most of its processing/normalization modes, in a software counterpart from computer programming applications, all except for switching back to RCA jack phono transmission lines; A non-entity or -imposition in practical terms for a makeship preamp, I was using it for. OTOH -- it's ton of miniscule soldering work with a package of 20 or 30 capacitors for "variously" replacing **** Engineering Behringer put out by implementing the cheapest, crap capacitor brands, they could, when they dropped that unit from $800US to $300, where it's sitting prce/marketed now.) |
