Hello,
I'm trying to repair a system that's a couple of years old. I'm just about out of ideas... and so I've registered.
I'm CompTIA A+ certified, and have had a fair amount of experience. That said, I'm a newbie in a lot of things.
The system was powering on, but would not display anything onscreen. The video card is a PCI-E nVidia thing. I tried a known good AGP card and a PCI card, but nothing worked. So I assumed the motherboard (Asrock 939Dual-SATA2) was bad.
I ordered this Foxconn motherboard, and installed it a couple hours ago. But now, the system does not even power on. The power supply also does not flash on plugging it in.
The power supply is good - I tested it in another machine.
I tried shorting the power switch pins - no luck.
System:
Athlon 64 3200+ 939
Foxconn NF4UK8AA-8EKRS
1 GB dual channel Corsair ValueSelect DDR 400
PCI-E GeForce 8400GS
Coolmax AP-500X power supply
So... any ideas?
[EDIT: Added system specs and symptom]
