Comment on What do I need to trouble shoot second hand desktop computer? And how?
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks agoNo, that’s probably what’s so alarming. You expect fan noise, but nothing spins.

Make sure the power button is connected to the board. Use the diagram in this PDF to locate it.

I don’t see a spot for it on diagram or board. Everything is ziptied together, so it’s not easy to trace back right now. The system panel header is plugged in. USB 3_3_4 is plugged. CPU fan connector is plugged.
Chassis Fan connector not plugged. USB 4_5 not plugged. Chassis intrusion and speaker header not plugged. TPM header not plugged.

Where is says panel 1 is the correct place for the connectors to the front of the case. Two of those pins are for the power button. Make sure the connector that says pwr, both + and -, are connected to the pins on the board that are labeled pwr.
That’s just a sanity check to make sure the power button is correctly connected. Something less common could be the power button is broken but we won’t go there just yet.
