PC Strarting problem - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

I am Sankaranarayanan, I have joined this forum today. I have a problem in my PC. It does not start by operating the starter switch. But if I short the pins where the starter switch (power switch) is connected to the mother board, it starts. The starter switch is OK. Can any one help me to locate the fault?

Damn, how did you figure messing with shorting the pins? That sounds like a problem already!

Thanks for your reply. Can you kindly help me to sort out this problem. I want to take it as an experiment, to solve this problem.

I would suggest calling a qualified professional as it can be dangerous experimenting....

May be the problem is with motherboards pins.
Its better to take your pc to a expert technician.

Sounds a bit beyond me! I'd try talking to a real proffesional hardware expert for that

i think it is simple, either the wires werent connected to the correct pins in the first place or maybe you have a loose wire in the switch itself, you really need to test it with a multimeter for resistence and continuity

yes m8 rest assured there does not seem anything wrong with your motherboard, all you have is a break or dry joint between the switch and the board, just replace the switch and wire m8 that way the problem is sure to be solved. by the way where the h*ll is Sankaranarayanan or whats that in english ??? cya.

I would not know how to fix this at all. I would be at the nearest computer repair place in a minute. I would make more of a mess trying to figure it out. Good luck to you I hope you get it fixed soon.
