Welp, I've been trying lots of forums and still stuck on this issue. Basically, I'm trying to start up a pc that I built back in 02 and haven't used it for years now.
Problem:
PC will power on for about 5 seconds before turning off. The fans, HD, and CDROM kick on for the 5 seconds theres power. During this time, there is no display, no beeps, nothing. I've also noticed the AGP card isn't running.
What I've tried:
-I've removed all the parts and inspected them and their contacts for any damage or corrosion.
-I've checked the battery.
-Checked all the cabling.
-I've taken parts out and then tried running it with no difference.
I kept out as much parts as I possibly can to make this as simple a setup as I can. I have a feeling its something with the mother board but I don't know any ways of testing this. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
