When i turn on the power to my computer, everything come to life... except the case power lights. Not that terrible of a problem, but there is no output from the computer!
i talked to multiple people.. they say " O Emachines... its your motherboard!" and "i replace those all the time"
so i went and tracked down an Socket 462 motherboard.. (not an easy feat here) and installed it.
SAME RESULTS!!!
i dont know what else? Processor? i have never overclocked it, and all i use the computer for is gaming and email.
im tempted to put the original mobo back in and return the 90 dollar one.
any suggestions? ... and yes.. the vid card fires up.. the power sup is on... fans are spinning .. hard drive and cd roms are working... ?? could only be the Processor left right?

ussually when i don't get a video, i check the memory. the vid card is directlly related to the memory to display to the monitor. very rarellly have i had a bad vid card. i assume it isn't posting, power on self test. each item,i.e., will do it's own self test during boot, drives will spin up and fans run, doesn't mean the board will post thou. if it's onboard vid, try a friends vid card in a pci slot, try swappping memory or removeing one stick at a time. some boards have to have a good stick in the slot closest to the processer, try swapping the sticks, one bad one may keep both sticks from running. good luck

Definitely sounds to me like the power supply is not powerful enough or not working right. It may seem like its working but unless you test to make sure it is giving you the output you need then you cant be sure. Check your wiring too, the power light could be a bad wire. But in all honesty, I would have told you the motherboard too. That is usually a tell tale sign.

Hi. The ' Power indicator ' is an LED. Have you tried switching the leads at the mobo?
