when holding the power switch in Hold it in for 4 or 5 seconds and the system will shut down. Only takes a momentary contact to have the turn on logic activate.
The case speaker is connected, Yes???
Try putting in a stick of memory.
Did this system work at one time, or is it just getting assembled??? Wondering if it would normally beep.
I've stripped it down to the bare essentials as is often prescribed.

I know it's getting some power cause I can hear the high-pitch tone from the electricity. And I think I have the front panel connected correctly because the LED has a faint glow to it. Also when I press the power button the board makes a click sound then a long quiet beep when I hold the button. But alas it won't power up. I think I managed to clear the CMOS but there's no way to tell for sure. so, any ideas?
