Motherboard VL93-L 4 Pin Connector question

[billman248]

Hi i am not sure if this is where I should post this but if anyone can help I would appreciate it. I have a Gateway 610xl all in one media center. The power supply is working fine as I tested it in my other 610xl. My problem on this system is the system gets no power, no fans running, no lights except ethernet light and IR light. When I unplug the ATX 12v 4 pin connector that goes from power supply to MOBO the power light comes on, and all fans spin, but no boot etc.

What does the ATX 12v 4 pin connector power?? Is my motherboardhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motherboard shot??

The motherboard is a VL93-L model

Any help would be appreciated.

Bill

The 4 pin connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. It is not clear to my why you seem to get further by unplugging it. It is possible that the problem is a short in the cpu.
