so, the mobo gets power… but nothing happens when you hit the power button? follow the power switch cables to the mobo and make sure they are on securely and in the correct position. Reseat the RAM. PULL ALL CARDS and try again. ---

thats the thing, my brother was told it was broke. But I think its fine and the problem is elsewhere, but I didn’t feel like screwing around with it, but I have pics and videos on there that I would like to keep. ---

But I think its fine and the problem is elsewhere, but I didn’t feel like screwing around with it, but I have pics and videos on there that I would like to keep. if the drive spins i can get data off it, UNLESS the board on the drive is fried. then i have to send it out to a clean room. that costs money ☹ but if it spins it usually a good sign. Dont take “tech’s” word on data being gone. the shit i can pull off a drive is scary enough that i wipe my drive on a weekly basis 😉 ---

Thanks, Jon. This thread is Holy. I am already helping newman, so if he doesn’t like how I have taken over this thread, he can take his P4 and stick it in his ass. BTW - I’m off Friday newman, for the wife’s b-day… so if you can get that board early, like before lunch, I’d really appreciate it. Or even tonight if you wanted, sometime later (11-12 ish) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/bought-a-new-powersupply-computer-still-wont-turn-on/1270.md?page=2)
