# dinbun
+ he's not an actor
TJ : how'd you test for dead motherboards anyone?
i just tested PSU (black to green) and that whirls up fine... its either the motherboard or the switch (which according to the ye-olde book is in correctly)
Cheers

# +you're too much of a pedant
he has appeard on tv as himself, thus he is 'near enough' an actor for me

test motherboards easily by dousing them in boiling hot soapy water and them test it
by scrubbing it clean with a wire brush

# on average my pc's tend to last about 5-6 years (normally)
this one is only about 4 years old so should have a few more years left in it before it starts to deteriate (in theory)

# unfortunately that's not really a guarantee
I have a board from 1997, hell I've got a machine from 1991, both work perfectly

board bought in 2003 lasted about 2 years before losing it

another board giving signs of badness after a few months, pretty random unless you go for a very high end manufacturer

# If it's ATX
(which it probably is) then you can disconnect the switch from where all the jumper pins are and connect the two pins it was plugged into with something metal. This closes the contact and will power the PC.
Of course, your PSU might be dead, which is probably liklier.

# i've double checked the PSU that whirls around fine - black to green method
what switch? the soft power switch?
ATX sounds right... its downstairs and im upstairs atm...

edit : do you mean the "open case" bit? or am i confused?

# ok i've just put a jumper (not too wooly) over the switch to bypass that
