Hi all, having the weirdest issue.
PC wouldn't boot earlier after being switched on at wall. After much switching on/off it suddenly booted.
Switched off and... dead, nothing, took half an hour to work out the method in the video. WiFi LED flashes when power is applied, unplug until WiFi LED goes solid, then plug in and power - it comes on instantly.
I'm guessing it's something to do with the +5v standby voltage? I will get my diagnostic card in there later and try another PSU. The PSU was bought roughly this time last year, I will check tomorrow.
Any ideas? Spec is Athlon 630/GA-MA78LMT-US2H/4GB/F3/CX400
Cheers
Just to clarify, it runs beautifully once booted.
