Old Mini Tower Rebuild; Cable Connections To Mimi (7inchx7inch) Motherboard Phase 3 Nada; Nothing!!!.
by Kermit

Hello,
Im back again, went to the new Comp USA Store here in ElPpaso today, picked up the cheapest SATA Hard Drive and windows XP Home Edition, decided to get a new Liteon dvd IDA also, as I wasn't too sure that the new mother board would accept an 1998 year of manufacture CDRom. Read all the manuals dug through your manual( I painstakenly printed the whole thing and put it in a 3 ring binder for ready referance about 2 weeks ago). Reviewed all you wrote , conected the drives switched the new DVD to Master connected only it to the motherboard double checked everything; all conections. Conected monitor, keyboard, and mouse put in the 2 gig 533 memory locked it in tight. Powered up the monitor put power to the tower and pressed the start button. Nada Nothing, pressed the button again held it for 10 seconds nada.
I have been working on electronics since age 10 Designed, installed, repaired over 200 alarm systems. Wore out burned up dropped, drove over over 30 multymetters. built power supplies; and cannot even figure out if the power supply is good I have no means of testing it or even know how to turn it on other than a momentary contact switch on the front of the computer.
The motherboard uses only the 20 pin power connector the other power connectors are not used at all. Read the poor excuese for a mother board manual 10 times made all the conections that I could use.
Your suggestions!!
Thank you
Kermit
