Okay, so I have a side job that is getting me crazy.
The owners claimed that ALL they did (you know how that goes), is remove a modem PCI card and (du du dunnnn) blow out the PC with canned air.
So, what happens is that when you turn on the PC, the Power light and HD light come on, the fans come on, and before the monitor can register the PC being on, everything turns off.
I've done a little research, and about to do some more.
What I've done.
Inspected the Mobo. Everything looks fine. The compacitor thingies look good, I can't see any damage.
Removed and replaced the CMOS. Same thing.
Took out the CMOS for a couple hours. No go.
Got wise and removed the CMOS with the power cord unplugged.
Still no go. Even with hitting the power button a few times with both missing.
Got a new CMOS. Well, at least now I have a spare CMOS.
Reset the BIOS by flipping the jumpers for 7 seconds and putting them back.
Replaced the PSU. Even with a higher wattage PSU, no go.
Stared endlessly at the mobo to see if I can just figure it out.
So, BIOS? Processor?
The mobo is a IPIBL-LB.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
EDIT: I removed the RAM (all 8gb of it,... jealous!) I got two long beeps. So, it must be POSTing... right?
