Power problem

rools · 03-03-2007, 11:39 AM

I have an Antec 1088AMG case that came with an Antec TruePower 2.0 480W PSU.
I have an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe mobo installed.

Earlier today there was a power cut and although I have a surge protecter, I don't own a UPS.

When the power came back on my box refused to turn on.
I opened it up and saw that the System Power LED on the mobo was on, meaning that there is power coming from the PSU.

Unfortunately, when I press the power on button on the case, nothing happens.
I've unplugged and re-plugged the power button connector to the mobo, still nothing.
Tried a new power cord, just for kicks, still nothing.

I really need to use my machine, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
