what are the specs on this system? Im guessing its an AT computer. Does
the power switch stay in when you press it or is it a momentary switch? If it stays in, then you have a AT which makes it easier. You can just plug in a hard drive (to give it load) and turn on the psu. If that doesnt work,then its either your hdd or the psu. Kevin Falconer wrote: 1. Swap out CPU if possible. not possible, soldered in 2. Unplug switch from MB and try shorting out the 2 pins on the MB which two pins ? 3. Go get a new computer got one, just trying to get this one going for company to use, games and such thanks for the comments....

If that doesnt work,then its either your hdd or the psu. bfriendl, the switch on front is just a momentary switch, it's a sleepmode switch. The PSU has a rocker switch on the back for on/off I think. I'll probably call compaq. I thought I ordered this from compaq but I think it was PC/finder ? but the PSU has compaq on it. I suppose I'll try compaq but they charge also for their tech info. If i knew for a fact this PSU did not require a turn on signal from the board I would just call the shipper and tell them I'm sending it back, but if it's good I'd just be wasting more time. The p1 and p2 connectors are like this ------ ------ then one other connector in the middle of board ------ the green wire I was told to jumper to ground is in the 6 pin connector in the center of the board, i think this is p9 connector Kevin |

Actually it covers all three functions, on/off/sleep. Usually it must be held down for 4 seconds to turn off the system. A good thing if you have a button pushing two year old wandering through your work area. I'll probably call compaq.

You can also try www.power-on.com they have had simular PSUs in the past.

The other connector is unique to only a few boards. It, I believe, is a control circuit allowing the basically AT board to perform some functions that later came out ass standard for ATX boards. KC |

Thanks, the one thing i did not do is hold that front button in for anything longer than a quick push. I'll crap if i was just not holding this button in long enough to wake up the power supply, probably wishfull thinking, but i'll give it a try ! |
