I think it's a bad on/off switch, how can I tell?
My computer won't restart after a local power failure last night. Our
neignborhood lost power for 7 hours, but the computer was on a UPS when we lost power. I shut it down with the power switch , but after power was restored, it wouldn't start. I thought perhaps the PS was fried in spite of the UPS because when the power went out, it didn't go out all at once, it "flickered, that is, on and off rapidly for several seconds. Anyway, I installed a old PS that I had used in another computer, but no effect. Now I'm suspecting the on/off switch on the case. There are 4 wires from the switch to a pin set on the MB, red, black, white, and green. Can someone tell me if it's possible for me to short two (?) of these wires to bypass the on/off switch, and thus see if indeed it's just a bad switch? And it that's the case, a way to simply bypass the case switch and get back in operation? |
