I've installed...
The cpu+cooler
Ram
Motherboard in the case
Powersupply
Connected up all the power lead's to the MB and the led leads's
So i decided to test before installing hardrive dvd rom floppydrive and graphic card just to see if i could get into the bio's but when i turn it on no fan's spain up and monitor is saying there's no signal :confused: The light on the front of the case come's on though so there is power going though it.
Any idea's?
 
Ops sorry I'm still in shock i can't get it going :D I have the graphic card installed just not the hardrive/floppydrive and dvd drive
 
Do you have your motherboards 4 pin power plugged in ? this can be a forgotten essential ? and is your CPU fan properly connected, as some boards wont boot without it .

*edit* ah i see you said it is plugged in , but still make sure its secure :)
 
Yes i have the 4 pin power pluged in, Funny you should mention the cpu fan pluged in.I have 2 lead's coming from the cpu cooler, One black lead with 2 pin connector at the end(The one i have pluged in) and 1 brown 3 pin connector at the end.I couldn't find any brown 3 pin slot's on the MB so i left it.
 
Just tryed swopping the the black cpu lead with the brown 1 with same result :( Only sign's of power i have is the red light under the on switch on the case
 
Right , it would seem that the Tuniq Tower 120 comes with a speed control panel ? Do you have this connected to the fan as i think this may be required. Check the manual for installation instructions. Tell me how it goes.

PS i am looking into it now

*edit* i think the black lead must be connected to the fan controller board to make the fan spin ( someone correct me if i am wrong ), with the brown connected to the Mobo.

its no problem mate , i know how fustrating it can be. I just donwloaded the install guide and i can see how useless it is. If you can find your digicam it would be great, a piccy of all the tuniq package contents and the cables would be a treat. Just texted a mate of mine who uses a tower 120 to see if he can help.

One thing you can do to check all is well is connect a regular case fan to the CPU fan header and try booting the machine. Point the fan at the tower of course lol. if it boots ok then i can tell you its just an issue with the cooler :) make sure you get the 3 pin fan connector on the right end of the fan header, the one with the plate sticking up , so it goes between the lines on the fan connector :).

Ok i have sorted I've only just relized where the that there was a fan controller with the Tuniq Tower for the white lead and have pluged and have the brown fan lead pluged into the MB.Still getting the same result though :(
 
Right so that rules out the cooler i would imagine, even so still check out another fan on the CPU fan header.

*hey alec waves* long time no see mate.

If what alec says dont work , pull out ALL of the RAM and try to boot, tell me if you get beeps...

I re-seated everything which didn't work.I then took both ram stick's out to and didn't hear the beep :( Wish i new what I've done wrong.Only other thing maybe is the Tuniq Tower, I can movie it around slightly (Sliding around on the thermal Paste)if that could cause this.I hav it screwed in as hard as a dare without damaging the MB.
 
please reiterate what exactly is happening, you've plugged everything in - and you get a motherboard light yes? but nothing happens when you press the power switch?

sounds like RMA time for either the PSU or Mobo, have you got any psus around that you would test with?

*edit*

have you attached the bios bleeper thing ? usualy get one with your case if there isnt one built onto the motherboard
 
Agreed with alec. If you could also get some pictures of the setup as it is might be helpful in seeing if anything is wrong. :). Make sure the power switch and reset switch , light and bios buzzer are connected properly aswell :)

I tryed my ezcool 450W power supply with the same result...Just the light on the front of the case.MY digicam is on harge atm so no pictures for a few hour's im afraid.
