Hey guys,

I'm hoping someone can provide some insight. I've done many ATX builds, but this is my first mini ITX build so I could just be missing something. Documentation that comes with this board is poor; photos in the quick start guide pertain to an ATX mobo.

Anyway, I can't get it to boot. It only has a DC-IN port, which I have connected to a 19V, 90W power adapter that was recommended on the NewEgg Q&A for this mobo. I get the CPU FAN to kick up, but no video when I turn it on. Nothing else is connected (HDD's, RAM, add-on cards, etc.). I've got the Morex 557 case as I'm trying to go with the smallest footprint possible.

The mobo has a 4-pin lead for CPU FAN (already connected), and a lead for a 4-pin SYS FAN but my case only has room for 40mm fans, which you won't find with PWM capability to support the 4-pin need. I'm speculating that it won't boot because I don't have the SYS_FAN, but that's not making alot of sense to me. btw, I bought another one of these assuming the first was DOA, but i'm having the same issue with both. Help!

I dont think that you will be able to boot without a ram.

I have a stick of SODIMM 4GB Patriot DDR3 1333 that I have installed, but I'm getting the same result.
