New comp porblem
Right now, I have completed all of the computer except the bit where you have to connect the PLED and things. I am confused about it, since the manual did not have any good information about it.
Motherboard: MSI KT6sLR??? On the board, it has PLED My case has a PLED + AND - And these are only the first of my problems! Any Help would be appreciated!!! |

It would appear that your power LED is split into two, one for +ve and the other -ve. The relevant portion of your motherboard's manual will show you the two pins you need to connect them to, and the correct polarity orientation.

It should, but My manual doesn't... At least I looked at it and it doesn't appear anywhere, that is... so does anyone have a same or at least similar pin problem???
Also, my comp doesn't start when I push the power button. Is it because of my LED problem??? Last edited by gasamonroe; 01-16-2006 at 10:45 AM. |

The PowerLED plug just makes the Power LED function. I would assume you do not have the power connector in the correct place on your MOBO.
I found ytour board on MSI site but I can't locate a user manual download? http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p...a-LSR&class=mb Last edited by not important; 01-16-2006 at 12:04 PM. |

Is the power button connector on the right front panel header pins? When you say you have two LED connectors, do you mean there is one with two pins and one with three pins? Or do you have 2 one pin connectors? If you have a digital camera, take a picture and attach it to your reply.  Cricket

...I can't find a switch... Do all power supplies have a switch? I thought that only the more recent ones did.
Oh, and i'm pretty sure I have the power Switch in the right pins Last edited by gasamonroe; 01-17-2006 at 12:06 PM. |

If you're trying to hook up the Power LED you have to use the JFP2 header and the + lead should go to pin 5 and the - lead should go to pin 1.
If you're trying to hook up the Power Switch you have to use the JFP1 header and the connector goes to pins 6 and 8 (doesn't matter which lead goes to which pin). Cricket

The PSU could be bad, especially if it is a junk brand like Aspire.
What brand and model is it?

It does sound as if the power supply is dead at this point. To verify you could install that power supply into another system (home built, no name brand) and see if the system starts up or not. If it doesn't, the power supply is dead.
What brand is it? Cricket

Sounds like it's a generic piece of junk. You should replace it with one of the better power supply brands.

Could it be possible that the motherboard is not working properly? It seems that everything else is fine... and I am afraid to switch the PSU supply with one from another computer... From what I am describing, do you think it is broken? This case, and the psu that came along with it, ARE BRAND NEW!!! Is it really possible for a computer with a generic power supply to go bad this early in it's use? {I put together a computer with brand new parts} Thanks Last edited by gasamonroe; 02-02-2006 at 10:39 AM. |

I had the same experience; a brand new case with a brand new crappy PSU. Cricket can tell you that clean power is essential to your system running correctly, and a no-name brand probably doesn’t cut it. Right now, while you’re in the trouble-shooting process, the PSU is the most logical culprit. Luckily, you can get a great PSU from Newegg for about $50.00. I would try to identify the PSU as the culprit before worrying about the MOBO. From the way things sound, the PSU is defective and is probably the cause of your problems.

The best way is to get known-to-be-working compatible parts and do a quick assemble and see if the system boots up or not. If it does then you know the motherboard is good. If the system doesn't boot up and you know all the parts are compatible and working, then the motherboard is probably dead.
You could try to see if you can get a response from the motherboard by installing just the CPU, heatsink, power supply and PC case speaker and try to boot it up without the video card and RAM...you should get BIOS beeps indicating something is wrong with the RAM and video. If you don't get any beeps then the motherboard might be defective. Cricket

I FIXED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Embarrasingly, It turned out it wasn t a power supply problem. It turned out that the motherboard problem was erm... touching the metal bits of the internal bit of the case. After I found screws that could distance the two apart, I put it together- and the thing turned on.. SO THANKYOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!! Next time, I SHOULD be a bit more aware of the simple problems... |
