WTF? My friend moved his mobo to a new case and now it won't boot up. No fans start etc. Also tried old cases power buttons.
you dun broke it
[QUOTE=Warship;32476032]you dun broke it[/QUOTE] whaddayamean? Possibilities how did he break it?
Try taking it out of the case and booting it.
Did you use standoffs?
[QUOTE=FlashStock;32476194]Did you use standoffs?[/QUOTE] Afaik he did. I checked them too, saw them. I did not take the mobo out of the case, as for one thing, we do not have a Anti-Static paper or anything like that.
Double check the power connections? I forgot to plug in the extra power line for the cpu and I had the same problem.
[QUOTE=Bonzai11;32476263]Double check the power connections? I forgot to plug in the extra power line for the cpu and I had the same problem.[/QUOTE] All were connected, CPU power and MoBo 20pin connector. It is older and does not have 20+4 afaik. Well. I am not at his house anymore.

[QUOTE=Shadaez;32476883]what does anti-static bags have to do with this? were you planning on starting the computer with the motherboard on it?[/QUOTE] IDK? I guess.

10 pounds vs 50-100 pounds when you have to replace your mobo when your hair electrocutes it
[QUOTE=nikomo;32478487]10 pounds vs 50-100 pounds when you have to replace your mobo when your hair electrocutes it[/QUOTE] ...compared to £3 for a strap.

Just realized that was the first time I've fixed my MBR with a Windows 7 disc. Haven't needed to do that before.

Looks like something I'd only buy if every time I touched a metal object I got zapped. Jeez just ground the case, and make sure you ground yourself frequently. Hell, lean on the case while working...

So I'm sad. I'm grounded again(don't ask) and I tricked my mom into taking my laptop battery and the part of the charger that goes into the wall. So I took my spare charger's part, plugged it into my real one, instant happy, [del]then realized my mouse won't work without a battery in the laptop.[/del] It works now that I've unpluged it seven times. :wtc:

Looks like i'll probably be sending back this monitor. I'm becoming obsessed with the input lag.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;32482019]Looks like i'll probably be sending back this monitor. I'm becoming obsessed with the input lag.[/QUOTE] That's basically the only reason that I don't think I'd ever buy one.
I may end up getting the HP ZR30W as it is based around low input lag. I have no need for 500 inputs or the scaler as everything I do it through a PC. [editline]25th September 2011[/editline] The ZR30W is actually cheaper than this Dell is with all the coupons.

Currently chatting with Dell online support. They asked me if I was on a laptop or desktop. Oh boy, they think it's my computer. [editline]25th September 2011[/editline] She told me, "What I can do for you is assist you in ordering a new monitor with higher specs." WAT U3011 is the highest one you got.
