Alright, here's the deal ....
I took the motherboard out of my girlfriend's computer and switched it with my parent's computer's. Both are identical NF7-S's, with the exception being that my girlfriend's has Dirty_Punk's volt mods in the back of it (3 wires, done flawlessly, worked fine when I took out the board).
I put the volt-modded board into my parents computer (since they have BH5 and the girlfriend doesn't), which is in a Lian-Li case ... PC60 or something like that, I believe (dunno, didn't buy the case from the store and not real familiar with them).
Now NOTHING will power on except the motherboard itself. When I turn on the PSU switch, the mobo's green and red leds light up, but when I hit the power switch on the computer, nothing happens ... not even fans spinning.
I've reversed the plug to make sure I had the leads right, swapped it's place with the reset switch to make sure the buttons themselves weren't reversed, and checked every connection I can think of (initially, the 20-pin mobo line wasn't all the way in, but powering off then inserting it fully made no difference).
What should I do? I'm at my wit's end, and I can't think of any reason whatsoever this thing shouldn't be working when all I did was replace the motherboard with another of the same type, and the mobo itself seems to be getting power fine. I just have no clue how the circuit loops from the PSU to the power button to everything else, honestly ... and I've never actually had the fans not even start.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
