    Question No power to Mb

    I have an older packard bell min-tower computer the mainboard died, I brought a PC chips 810LR MB, everything connected ok, however the old case did not have an on/off switch like the newer cases. Problem is I can't get the power supply or the mb to powerup. Is there a power switch for the newer MB? Any help would be appeciated. Thanks

    There is a big difference between the ATX and the AT power supplies...

    the Pc chips board is ATX - is the old psu AT ?

    Since he uses the phrase 'everything connected ok' then I don't think its the wrong 'kind' of PSU ... but he could be suffering from propriety pin outs so it still is the wrong 'kind' of PSU

    Is that confusing enough

    Packard Bell PSU's often have their own power pin outs different from the standard ones, try a standard PSU to test the board....

    well in all honesty, do you really care about the case? i'd say get a new case. but if your really stuck on the idea of using this case, you will find a block of no more that 6 cables in the front of the PB case, 2 for HDD LEF, 2 for PWon, 2 for PWRLED/Sleep LED probably, yellow, brown, blue, green, orange and white. let me know if so I think I still have the pin outs for it somewhere, also what model Packard Bell was it?
