| Issues Wth Power Supply This has been an ongoing thing, although in the past I have been able to fix it by fiddling. This time its not the case. Continuing with my Linux mod, I shut down the computer, pulled the case off, and went to restart (so it could continue folding) since I pulled the connector for the power button, I just shorted the two pins with a metal screw driver. The computer turned on, then turned itself off instantly. I cannot get it to turn back on. There has always been an issue with this motherboard, so it always shows the power on, even when it isnt. This is how I usually tell if the PSU is on or not. I think this means the power supply is shorted out somewhere. THIS IS MY DIAGNOSIS, FEEL FREE TO TELL ME IM WRONG AND CALL ME A NOOB!  How do I fix it?

| I was close. It was the power supply, but it wasnt shorted. Sometimes it takes a knock to stop it working. Another sharp knock gets it going again. I think its buggered.

| Sounds like you have a bad solder joint inside the PSU then.

| Something loose would be my guess. I'll just make of a note of not to touch it at all.
