Ok I think I might have really messed something up. My son's computer has a Asus A55BM-E Mobo and a Corsair CX430 PSU. I was swapping a case fan, everything was working after swapping the fan so was ziptying the wires back up and then went to hit the power button and nothing happens. The green power light on mobo comes on but nothing happens when press power, verified the front connectors and also tried to bypass the powerbutton by jumping the 2 pins with a screwdriver. The CPU 4 pin and main 24 pin I reseated and they are in their all the way. Now here's the stupid part, to see if was maybe a bad PSU used the power supply in my wife's computer, hooked it up to my son's mobo, go to put the PSU back in wife's computer, now hers is doing the same dang thing. Any ideas?


*added* if it helps I checked the rear usb port, that has power and will charge the ipod and my multimeter shows about 3 volts across the 2 pins where power button connects.
