Ever start something only to wish you never bothered?
I decided it would be fun to salvage some parts from my old laptop and build an ITX based fanless system.
I salvaged fom the laptop:
Corsair CMSX8GX3M2A1600C9 NB Vengeance Performance 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 SO-DIMM Memory Two Module Kit.
Plextor M56M 128GB mSATA SSD
Seagate 500GB 2.5" SSD Hybrid Drive
OcUK Combo Card BT+WLAN
And to complete I bought:
Akasa Euler Case (comes with external 120W PSU 19v 6.32A)
Gigabyte H81TN Motherboard (eBay New)
Intel i5 4590t (eBay Used)
I assembled it all, the power switch works, light comes on but that's it. No output to screen via HDMI.
Any tips? It's a pain to take apart but I have done several times to check everything looks right / removed 1 stick of memory, no change.
Any guidance from here greatly appreciated!
