the mobo light comes on when i turn on the PSU but nothing else happens.

nothing happens when i press the case power button.

no fans/psu fan turn

i checked the case power button is plugged in to the mobo and tried it in the nextdoor 'ground' slot aswell just incase that does anything

i might be mistaking the power button for the power button LED? i cant see where the power button socket is on my mobo (asus p5k)

List your specs so people know what you're working with.

oh there is no power led and so my pwr sw should be plugged in correctly in the chassis

650w corsair
asus p5k mobo
2x2 ddr2
hd4870
is that sufficient?
thanks

Well I'm not very good at helping people troubleshoot things, so wait until a more experienced member comes along

in the anandtech troubleshoot guide my problem is ...

System simply lies there and ignores me with its green LED lighted, showing it has power, but no dice when I press the Power button
 The motherboard is waiting to see an electrical connection between the two pins that the case’s power button is supposed to be plugged into.


i have checked this connection tho =/
