My 6 year old pc started showing problems with its power swtch. At first it was a little unresponsive ( i had to press it harder than b4.) . 2 days ago it went complete unresponsive. ....weirdly enough I then turned off and on the ups with short delay then power sw worked !!! But now it's totally blacked out.
I read some posts and tried shorting the power sw in mobo but didn't worked. Switched the reset wire with power sw wire, that didn't work too(the reset button may have been unresponsive a long time ago.)
Then I went to psu testing , that's where it became weird. It passed the paper clip test but didnt response with the mobo external fan plugged , but after a few hour of frustration and repetition suddenly the external fan also started with the psu. . But when I plug it in the mobo ...well how can it work ? I can't even power it on the On switch doesn't work...BTW my psu don't have any on off button I turned on the ups every time.
I am at a loss, the last 48 hours have been like hell!!
BTW I also removed the cmos jumper and placed it in the adjacent pin(s) for a few second then placed it in the first positions .... I have some confusion about this : 1. I did it with main power off ,2. The jumper is too far from the cmos. Did I do the cmos thing right ?? Do I post the pic of the jumper?
