Nothing happens. I mean nothing, no lights, no beeps, no fans turning.<br /> I have to go somewhere for the next hour and a half.. but i'll be back after that.. i read somewhere that CMOS might need to be cleared.. could that be a possibility? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/rick-wiring-mobo/page/2#post-82526 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 20:08:08 +0000 raphoenix 82526@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>OK Will be looking for you post. !!!<br /> The switch just has some contacts in it that make and break control circuity. (Very Simplified explanation). </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/rick-wiring-mobo/page/2#post-82524 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 20:04:10 +0000 mtalicarox 82524@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Will reverse when I am home... am at work.

You can' hurt the MB.<br /> Reverse the PW Connector NOW. Same Pins - Just reverse.<br /> UNDO all all other wires OFF the header EXCEPT the PW connector.<br /> What happens. ??? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/rick-wiring-mobo/page/2#post-82514 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 19:05:40 +0000 mtalicarox 82514@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>If it is helpful, I can take pictures of everything we've done tonight and upload them on here. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/rick-wiring-mobo/page/2#post-82513 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 19:04:29 +0000 mtalicarox 82513@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I will do my best to describe what I see happening and what I have tried. First off I have tried connecting the wires from the case to the MOBO using the above diagram. Nothing happened. No lights, no beeps, nothing. While just re-arranging the wires to other slots, I have gotten the blue light to light up on my case (which indicates the HD fine, according to the manual). The case I am using is Thermaltake SopranoRS VG7000BWS Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case. When we hit the power button we have not heard or seen anything happen. The only activity that we've seen is the light on the front of the case (which is a blue light) and that's it. Nothing else. we've checked and rechecked that we're matching the MOBO's wiring configuration, but when we do match it perfectly, we don't get teh blue light even. If i do turn around the power switch like you suggested in the post above with the wiring picture, is there any chance of me shorting out the board by doing that? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/rick-wiring-mobo#post-82506 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 18:27:49 +0000 raphoenix 82506@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I have the manual downloaded.<br /> Am flying on instruments.<br /> Give us a clue as to what you actually see happening and what you have tried. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/rick-wiring-mobo#post-82505 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 18:20:36 +0000 mtalicarox 82505@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for the help. Yes we've got the wires hooked in correctly.. I'm beginning to think the mobo or cpu might have been DOA.... </p>
