I'm going through the steps in this tutorial (http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbysymptom/ht/nopowertopc.htm) to deal with a system that will not turn on. I got past the power supply, where I managed to test all of the pins for the proper levels. I didn't check the power button because I'm afraid of hitting the wrong pins and damaging my board, although I will if I have to.
My next step was to check my motherboard by buying a POST card, but I'm hesitant if there is another way or if buying one will put me out more than it's worth. Is there anything else I can check? Is buying a POST card worth it for fixing one system?
BTW the board is an Asus M2N MX SE.
