Interesting Issue With Older Computer

[ADZ]

I havea 333 (its a smoking machine i tells ya) and it was working fine in one case.

I removed the motherboard from the case along with all the other devices. I am a VERY anal person about removing / installing hardware and I amke sure I have a clean workstation, proper tools, the only thing i didnt do is ground myself.

Well, I have put it in a new case and now it is not working. The LED on the motherboard is not lighting up meaning what it is not detecting any power.

I have tried 2 different PSUs and still no light. I have removed it from its case, it is on my workbench and only has CPU and RAM in it as well as power, and still there is no light.

I have replaced CPU, RAM and PSU. I was VERY carefull when removing the mobo and highly doubt that i had scratched / damaged it in any way.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

You tried turning your header switches around.Did you use the spacer's so the motherboard dosent touch your tower.

Had twin Abit board's while setting them up. I pushed in to hard and flexxed the board .Just a tiny amount but enough to destroy the board.

the case was well...it wasnt a case...it was the chasi of a case, but I had to make the sides of the case out of ducttape. Thought it was time to get a new case....

I didnt flex the board and I was using a combo of the plastic mounts and the gold screws (forget their names) I didnt do it up too tight or anything.

Lemme put it this way. You have replaced almost everything but the mobo. (hint hint nudge nudge
