dafloppyone said:say you dont attatch the power supply to anything....and then switch the power supply on....should the power supply fans spin>????
nm wouldnt be able to switch the psu on lol
but thats whats strange... the power supply fan doesnt spin.... but the green light on the mobo is standby power on...so is it possible that a case connector to the power on switch could be broken...even though you press the power button the power led on the front comes on?
doubtful but I do suspect its the mobo...exact same problems a stelly had

Devious said:Im sure ive seen recently that you can power on by shorting some of the molexs, cant find link though.
djay said:No, if the PSU is not connected to anything then it will not power up. There is a way to test the PSU and that is by putting a paper clip or a piece of wire into 2 of the holes on the mobo connector. You connect the the paper clip to green and black on the psu connector. Then poweron, this will automatically start the psu and the fans should spin.
PSU Jump Trick
Hope this helps.
