Weird problem last night with a dying c: drive. So I had a spare SATA drive and I put it in the case. Just in the slot, added power and the SATA connection to the mobo (PRI_SATA port). Now the PC shows no signs of powering on. Power supply seems okay although I will test it tonight, but it had been working 15 minutes before just fine.
So I'm thinking the stars aligned just right and at this particular moment the case power switch failed. I reseated that wire on the mainboard but no luck. Can I hot wire it by putting a jumper on the PWR and GND pins ? Would that force power to be always on? Or would it hurt the board? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
