ECS L4VXA2
P-4 socket 478 / 533fsb / 512K
512MB PC2700 DDR
Thanks so very much for reading. I have read
up on the ECS L4VXA2 and I know it causes a lot of
grief.
I'm going to list below my "known"
items. I do really appreciate the input.
Symptom: With everything hooked up, trying to turn
the machine 'ON' results in zilch, nada, no fans,
no action, nothing.
(1) I do have both the 20-pin ATX1 and 4-pin ATX2
connectors plugged in.
(2) To eliminate the PSU as a problem, I have tested
the PSU on a power supply tester and it passed for
all six voltage rails.
(3) The memory is a PC2700 512MB stick which I used
previously, and in fact before putting into this ECS,
I ran it on several passes on MemTest86 to ensure
there were no errors.
(4) Just a side comment, I *believe* that even if
the memory module were not friendly, the motherboard
would still be able to power up and would beep on
that part of the POST involving memory module detection.
(5) The front power LED, when plugged into the panel
connector, lights up -- showing juice is running
through the length of the motherboard.
(6) I changed out power controller switch just
in case the switch on the case was bad. Still nada.
(7) I reset the CMOS and even changed the +3V battery.
If you can think of anything else, which would or
might result in total silence/nothing even though I
know the motherboard has a throughput of voltage,
I'd be grateful to learn more from your experience.
Thanks again! vois2@yahoo.com

Check the CPU fan plug. Make sure the fan is good and is plugged into the |
proper socket. If you installed the MB, check for shorting to the case,
which is unlikely since you have voltage up but one never knows.
