I Plugged in everything the way it is supposed too go and everything is set. I flick the switch on the pwoer supply and no fans go and the power buttons dont work. I think the pwoer supply is working because i hear a very faint noise when my ears up to it.
is the switch on the power supply on and the voltage set to 120Vac??

Make absolutely sure you have the power switch cable plugged into the right place on the board. Make sure the power connection to the board is secure. If it's not either of those things, you might have a short somewhere on it, make sure you didn't use any extra spacers or anything. If it is shorted the board is dead.

Its an socket A 1.4 Ghz athlon Geforce 3 with a K7S5A motherboard (the plug is one big one not two so the wires are facing the right way, couldnt be fried that way)

could it be shorted from switching around the plugs for the lights and buttons in the front.Quote:

No. And did you check the on/off switch on your psu, if it has one?

If so check it again, then try removing the battery,shorting the battery jumper,replace the bat jumper to original place, replace batter.
try removing any device you dont need to start, IE, sound,network cards,CDrom,Floppy.

No, like I said, if the switch is on in the back, you absolutely for sure have the power switch cable in the right spot on the mobo (make sure it's not backwards or something), the atx power cable is plugged securely into the board, and it still doesn't come on, it's probably fried. Oh, if you have an abit board, make sure you don't have the clear cmos jumper in the wrong spot. When you first plug the case in or try to turn it on, does it like hum for a second or do the fans spin a little bit or anything?

Absolutely nothing happens when i turn on the switch, the weird thing is it just worked a day ago in a different case. The only way i know of frying it is plugging in the power cable too the mother board the wrong way but its set up so it can only be plugged in the right way. what else could i have done that fried it. could the batterey have died?
Was there another mobo in the system previously? I've seen it happen where people accidentaly leave spacers on the tray that the board doesn't need which connects a bunch of traces and short it out.
that was one of my problems before finding out where those plugs go but the plugs for the front of the case LEDS and buttons are plugged in the right spots.Quote:

nope everythings new i just had too switch it all too a new case with new heatsink and fan. the case it came with sucked and the cooling was terrible it got too 145 degrees+
Battery only hold the Bios settings, It would still boot up if it were flat.Just without its memory,so it uses default settings.
Im thinking you know how to put a board in the case correctly so i really cant see it could be damaged in any way.
Its always something stupid like a conector in the wrong place.Ive even experienced bent conectors on the dim slots and AGP slots where the card was taken out on and angle.
Check the slots.
Then try unpluging all of the case lights and switches except the power switch.

If the power supply is not plugged in and set too 0(off) but the ATX power cable is plugged in to the motherboard during installation would that cause problems.Quote:

You must remember, without the power cable pluged in,your case is not earthed.
Its still highly unlikey to damage anything.
