Help me out here....

I just got my new comp (finally)...
I ordered the pieces from a store and got it assembled at that store....

Now, there seems to be a problem....

I got it home, plugged in my vid card, plus sound card..

All was set so i pressed power and.... nothing happened...

So i opened the front pannel only to find that that the hole where the power plastic thing enters is empty....

There is absolutly nothing behind where the "power" button could have effect, so I thought it could have fallen off inside but the said power switch is hidden behind my floppy drive and stuff... its unreachable.

So i can't see if there is a piece missing of if it only fell off....

This really pissed me off given how long I have waited for it ...

SOooooooooo after all this text, here comes the question

Do you guys think it's the case that came in broken or a assembly mistake??? thx in advance

Oh yes that really helps...

Using a screw driver short the power SW pin (remove the power switch connector from the mobo first)...if the computer powers on then it is your switch...if not then you have bigger problems

Ya if he does not have that on he will go nowhere fast.

look at your mobo manual and find the 2 jumpers that connect to the power switch and short them out (if there's a cable conneted there take it out first)

Et voilà!

I was just about to say the same thing - sometimes people here forget what the rest of the world is like. We are living in a technobubble.

"Don't question it!!!" - Err

fixed it, the damn thing had fallen off

Burble ..ooOOo Burble OO..ooOOO Gulp~!
Technobuble, I'm drowning hhhhhhhelp!!!!!!!!


The loving are the daring!

On some cases, such as mine, when you press the power on button on the front of the case you are simply shoving a plastic pin that extends from the back of the button into another little pin that is the actual power on switch. If either of these two pieces of plastic falls off then pressing the power button does not physically move the power on switch. From what I read I believe that is what happened at least.
