If so you could test the power supply on you main! If it's not that and there is no power at all then you have a task ahead of you. You could assume it's the motherboard but if you have to replace things I always start with the least expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

If it isn't the PSU you probably blew a Capacitor on the motherboard. Damage_inc- and BigPapaDean 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Get a voltage meter and check your power supply for 5 and 12 volts DC. Power supply would be cheapest and easiest to replace so let's hope it's not a mother board... johnny BigPapaDean and Johnny3Time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
