I need a little help here. Computer upstairs the screen stays black, I left
it on overnight as I have done many times before. I thought it was in sleep
mode. Couldn't bring it back up so I used the power button to shut it down
waited a few minutes and tried to start it.The screen stays black, I don't
even get a POST screen. Nor do I get any beeps from the mother board, the
fans seem to be running though. I have replaced the cr2032 battery on the
mother board, removed and reinserted the cards. I tried different memory and
a new video card all to no avail, I have also removed and reinstalled the
cpu and fan, cleared the cmos via the jumper setting. I have also removed
all pci cards and still nothing on boot up but all 7 fans fire up just fine,
and it sounds like the had drive is working, optical mouse lights up so I am
at a loss since the machine hasn't had a hardware problem since I built it 4
years ago
It has a SOYO K7ADA MB with an AMD 1600 processor and it gave me no
indications of any problem

Thanks
Dave

you probobly shocked the fsb or othe main conponent in the
conputer

i sugest if you are spending over $300 tryig to fix it just get a
new computer
 
sounds like the mainboard died check the caps on the soyo, that was one of
the hardest hit brands for defective (cheap) capacitors.
Bulging and/or leaking is no good

Have you tried a different monitor, or tested that monitor on another
computer?

No beep means no POST. Remove EVERYTHING except CPU, should give
continuous series of beeps. If not, is CPU, PSU or motherboard. Try temp PSU
first, cheapest option.

I have swapped monitors, I really should have included that in my origial
post
Thanks Again
