alright, heres the stats:
ecs k7s5a-pro mobo with an athlon 2200+xp and a dragonorb9 heatsink
512MB generic ram
4xcd-rom
1.44MB floppy drive
generic atx case w/400w power supply
maxtor 30GB 7200rpm hdd
__________________________________________
i read the *happy* manuals before i assembled anything, and it all went smoothly. the ram is in the slot nearest the cpu. all the jumpers are in place according to the manual for the mobo.
i plug everything in, press power, nothing. monitor plugged into same powerstrip works. cell phone charger plugged in works. (read as: tested powerstrip, known good.) all of the other parts are new. i get no post beeps, no fans come on, no nothing.
*update* a minute ago i was messing with it some more, and saw that when i initially plug it in, the heatsink fan spins for a split second. the power supply fan tries to spin, but fails. tried on a different outlet, same result.
conclusion, bad power supply?
is there anywhere i can take it to be checked, or anyway to check it myself with a fluke multimeter?
