I've got a Compaq Presario SR1020NX. Power went out the other day while my bro was on it, and wouldn't boot up later. I assumed it was the power supply; when connected the green LED on the back was flashing when it's supposed to be solid. So, I disconnected it from the MB, and it turned green, making me think it's a motherboard issue. I ordered a new MB, and installed it, but I still have the same problem. Googling came up with similar issues where replacing the PS was needed, because it was fried, BUT! I can jump the PS_On pins on the supply and turn it on, so it can't be fried, right?!? Any suggestions/recommendations besides buy a new comp or PS. I just spent $160 on the other parts, and am very short on cash ATM . PS works fine when I unplug it from the MB, and jump the pins, but once I plug it in, the light starts blinking and it won't do anything.
