Default Compaq Deskpro (probably Mainboard failure)

I'd try removing and then reinstalling the processor, memory, etc.

Hi there!

I just got a pretty old Compaq Deskpro config, really nothing

special, approxx 1,3 GHz, 128 RAM, everything else integrated, and
with a small HDD.

the box wasn'tg opened, so the computer was untouched for like five

years.

i tried to turn it on, but nothing happened...
the led on the mainbord is on, so the power supply is OK (I tried

another one too...)

the cables leading to the turn on button seem to be OK too, cuz i

tried to connect the jumpers manually, and still nothing happened.

i don't know what the problem is, the PC is too old for a

complaint; and I really dont know what know.

i mean can i fix it somehow? probably not, but i'm courious, maybe

i didn't try everything...

Thank you again, I already tried
the CMOS baterry change, but with no success...

The other computer, I was taking the parts from (battery, power
supply) is one of my working computers, so they're 100% good.
And no, that's a pentium also, but different socket, there's no
similarity.

I gave this Compaq away recently, so I don't really care about it
anymore, but thanks for everybody's advice. Too bad I couldn't figure
out what was wrong.
Maybe Bobb was right with the power supplys. I can't remember if i
tried my working computer with the compaq power supply...
Anyway, new computers are quite cheap nowadays, so i don't really care
about it.
