won't power up
Hello,
I just picked up a PC out of scrap at work. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't ( If it doesn't, I don't lose anything, I could just use some of the extras that were in it) When I hook it up, hit the power button, NOTHING.
No sound, no lights, no fans moving, Nothing. I switched the power supply for a known good one, did a continuity test on the switch, unplugged components, still nothing.
Could it be the mother board (ASUS P/I-XP6NP5)? I checked all the jumper settings and they seem fine. It has a Pentium Pro 200mhz processor, Whatever you need to know just ask. What can I try next.
Thanx in advance,
Sean

I tried all that and I get nothing at all. I changed the memory, nothing. Bad mother board? If so, is there anything I can do besides replace it?
Thanx,
