Just wondering...
I have an old case lying around that has a snipped power connector.
I am (re)building an HTPC and have a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H. In attempting to save $ on the case, I wanted to use the one with the snipped power connector and I connected the reset switch connector to the power switch pins on the motherboard (so that I could just press the reset switch and have it turn on the computer, in theory).
The new build powers on, no POST beep and no display when connected either through on board video or through PCIE video card. All fans spin, drives are on, CPU fan is on, CPU has power, but no display & no POST...
I've tested the power supply, RAM, CPU, video card, all in another build and all work fine.
Could this be due to the reset Switch connector being used rather than the power switch, or is this just a DOA mobo?
(and for those interested, the power switch was snipped a long time ago and I don't have the other half so that's why I haven't just reconnected the snipped wires yet).
