Can anyone help me with my pc.it only switches on when i unplug the +12vdc connector from the motherboard otherwise nothing and even when it switches on theres no post beep or any visibility on the monitor.
did i fry my motherboard and cpu or wtf?
 
what motherboard do you have? have you tried unplugging all the cards/hdd/cdroms from it and seeing if the POST comes up.
 
Does it only switch on when you unplug the +12V DC connector or do you still need to press the button?

yes i do have to press the power button still.i disconnected everything leaving only the motherboard with 1gig of ram graphics card,cpu and power supply.
 
If its an older mboard u can fry the board if the mounting screws arent grounded...Can you check that the screws are in their little copper screw sleeve things?
 
so do you thing i fried the motherboard? so what about the cpu do you thing it will still work.or am i a little cheap
 
Check that eveything is pluged back in, specialy the ram some mobo's will not post if the RAM is not in correctly, my MSI just posts in a black screen :)
