Hi!
I am trying to fix my dads computer and its not going too well =/.
Here are his specs:
ASUS P4S800 (Old, 478-socket)
Pentium 4 HT
idk gfx card
idk ram, though its 1gb ddr1
HDD is a Maxtor(IDE)
When i switch the power switch on the PS the mb will display a green light (saying its got power), when I press the button on the chassi all fans starts spinning and seems to be working. But no output from the screen, no sucessfull POST beep and the HDD is not spinning.
I have tried to run the computer without the IDE connected to the HDD, no luck but the HDD seems to be rotating.
In the HDD I have tried to switch the jumpers, at first I though it was running in slave mode, but after looking it was placed on the first jumper meaning its running master. But there is another jumper connected, it is the last one on the top, the one on the bottom isn´t connected.
If you have any idea why it isn´t working please post it =D.
And would also like to know what the last jumper does.
Also could someone tell me if you can boot without an HDD =D?
Thanks
