computer trouble

[Abaweet69]

i'm in the process of building my computer right now.
i'm assembled everything and tried to boot it up.... nothing happened.
i took it apart again and noticed that the power supply didn't even turn on.
Is there something i can do to fix this? or any other ideas?
thanks.

Make sure the 110/220 switch isn't in the middle? Is your power cord good? (Try another, they're pretty universial) brad

Check the Mobos CMOS jumper is in the correct place.

Double check the wiring from the cases power switch.

You can test if the power switch is faulty by manually shorting the two relevant pins on the mobo with a screwdriver head (or similar).

PS Almost every motherboard controls the 'switching on' of the PC. If the jumpers are incorrectly set etc it is perfectly normal to get no response whatsoever.

Good Luck
