Power Supply or Mother Board?

by rcoleman . Updated 21 years, 7 months ago

When I shut my computer down because I was going to be out of town for a few day everything was working fine. But, a few days later when I tried to start it back up there was nothing, no fan noise, no lights, no nothing.

QUESTION: I’ve tested and discovered that the Enermax power supply is putting out 5 volt on the power switch leg when I connect that lead to COM, but which two wires connect together to complete the switch leg? In other words, I’m assuming the way to test to find out if the problem is the power supply vs. the mother board is to make sure all the pins are hot when manually turned on, right?

OR, is there a better way to determine it the problem is the mother board vs. the power supply?

Thanks!
