If the hard drives don't spin, that means that the reset line on the
IDE cable is being asserted. This can be caused by the PWR_OK from the
power supply not going high, which would also prevent the CPU from
running. Use a meter to measure the PWR_OK signal at the motherboard
ATX power connector.

Power supply or motherboard, often it's a capacitor failure
on either. I'd normally think PSU was more common at this
point since you were using a Powerleap socket which
presumably has it's own CPU VRM power subcircuit on it,
removing the motherboard CPU power subcircuit from the
equation, BUT after a few years even that powerleap socket
might fail so it is yet another thing to examine. |
