[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1016834, member: 369937"] Try a new power supply if you have one, are there any LEDS (usually green or yellow) on the mother board that are lit up, like close to the LAN input connector, or on it? Is the fan spinning on the power supply? If not then it may be hosed, give the supply a sniff,(with the power off) if it smells like something is burnt you will need a new one. One of the little tools in my service kit is a power supply tester, you just unplug the main power supply's to the mother board and one of the IDE or SATA plugs (or use a spare) and turn it on, it will tell you if the PS is dead or not. You don't see any bulged up electrolytic caps any where near the main mother board power plug do you? If so then it's time for a new MB. [/QUOTE]
