[SOLVED] Have opened case whilst on and now no power when I switch on

[rdeh71]

Hi ,

I am a bit of a build newbie , I build a desktop a while ago :

• Asus Mobo M3A7`8 Pro
• Strider 560W PS
• Samsung HD502IJ 500 gig drive
• 8 gig memory
• Sharknoon case

Thee are two issues:

1. So I have a problem with it that it wont boot, I cant see any Bios booting info. Originally all the fans were on, there was a green light on the mobo. I have read elsewhere that it could be that the screens if using VGA cables wont autodetect power so I swapped them for a HDMI cable. Still not joy
2. Then I did something v stupid , whilst it was still on I lifted the Sharknoon side on the case off whilst it was still on , and obviously tripped some form of safety feature. Now it wont start up so I guess there must be some power supply or case feature that I need to reset , to get back to the problem with 1.

Anyone got any suggestions , apart from stop taking the stoopid pills...

Many thanks
Richard

Possible try reseting the CMOS with a jumper or paperclip

Thanks Alex, do you think that will sort out the problem with the Power ?

I have also notice a faint pulsing sound when I switch the power on at the back , which gradually slows once the power is turned off, could be a fan. Non of the other fans are working . This seems power supply related ...? The front switch no longer does anything... It did before the case was opened......

So I thought it might be some intrusion type detection, which is what I think has tripped but I have no idea how to reset it..

Anyone got any ideas ?

Didn't help I'm afraid. :-(

Look around the edges for a switch where you took the panel off.
Sometimes there is a switch that trips when you take a panel off.
