Trying to fix my mother in laws PC - will not come on at all - zero power. Mother board diagnostic lights are off, etc. Therefore, I fugured it was the power supply.
Just bought new ATX supply - get it into the CPU - plug in and again, NO power. Nothing - but I see a small light or two on the motherboard is lit - no fan, no noticible power yet. Now I am thinking to the front switch may be bad.
Anyone know if it is ok to plug in a 115v power supply outside the cpu? Meaning, I just want to see if this thing is working and not sure if it is self grounding, etc.
Any advice would be great.
