Please log in for more thread options it on, absolutely no response, no lights or noises, or anything. The board was "tested" by the seller so it should have worked. My old motherboard, which had some video problems only, works fine when it is reinstalled. Does anyone know of something that will keep a motherboard from powering up? I am going to assume it is something with the board unless someone has another explanation. The processor works in my old board, and I would think the board would at least do something if the problem was not something extreme. This happens with both extenal power and battery. I know the power button is working, because when I push it the battery led blinks once, which is the same thing my other board does, so this is normal. Battery and power adapter are both good. Thanks. Clark | |||||||||||||

Dell had some sort of funky proprietary power supplies at one point. Is it possible that your replacement needs that weird setup, and the original did not, or vice versa? eg, Is your replacement the exact same model as the original? | |||||||||||||
