| Lifeless PC - Is it Power Supply or Board/Proc
I knocked over my CPU tower whilst it wsas switched on.
Everthing went dead and I can no no longer get the PC to power on. Not een the cooling fans fire into life when the 'On' switch is flicked.
I did a trawl of diagnostics sites and everything seemed to point 2wards the Power supply having failed. I've purchased a new PS yet I still have the same problem. I'm guessing power is getting from the mains to the PS and then to the motherboard cos there's a small LED light that comes on on the baord next to where the main connector from the PS plugs into the board. I've tried the mains lead on other devices and it works fine so it's not that either.
I've tried removing each of the PCI cards i have installed but this has no effect either.
Do any of you network techies know what could be the problem. I plan to get an identical P4 board that's currenty on an EBAY auction, but want to find out if this is infact my problem or could it be something else???
Again, basic symptoms are:
No life whatsoever when power is flicked on (no HDD spin-up or cooling fan activation. No lights on front of CPU box)
Only sign of power getting to board is small LED that lights up next to main board power connector.
I'm flumoxed....so need some help please.
Many thanks,
