Hi All,
I built a computer back about 6-8 yrs ago. I have a Gigabyte mobo and it was working fine until a few years ago but i just got to really seeing what the issue was. One day it would not longer turn on at all. I thought it was the power supply so I tried the bobby pin technique and it works. I reconnected the 20-pin connector to the mobo and everything powered up for a brief second and then died. I thought it must be the way I am connecting it, even though it snaps in place nothing happens. I decided to push down on it with some force and turns out my computer works just fine as long as I apply a good amount of pressure on the connector. I don't want to break my mobo as a result of pressing too hard.
Has anyone ever encountered this?? I would like to avoid have to search for another mobo as this is a Socket 939 and I don't think they even manufacture these anymore.
