Im pretty sure you would.
Just out of curiosity, does it take a standard ATX power switch, or will it need the original Acer switch?

 

[PohTayToez]

It's quite easy to turn on a mobo on without a switch. All you have to do is jump the pins that would normally be connected to the switch, they're right next to each other so all you have to do is touch them with a tip of a screwdriver. I know it sounds risky, but you're essentially doing the exact same thing the switch does.

that is assuming he can figure out which pins to short to get it on. And I find that a paper clip works much better than a screw driver for that.

 

[ZachSand]

Found the correct pins. It's a no go, nothing would show up.

Although the LED light and the fans worked?

 

[wolfeking]

could be something simple.
You may need to attach a speaker to get any error codes.

 

[ZachSand]

Tried the speakers, no noise.

 

[wolfeking]

Its possible then that the integrated GPU is shot.

Really? Tapping a paperclip to a couple of pins is that much easier than tapping a screwdriver to a couple of pins?

I take it the processor is socket AM2?

 

[ZachSand]

I take it the processor is socket AM2?

Yes.

 

[wolfeking]

100% sure?
Because a 939 processor will fit it a AM2 socket, but will not power on. The Athlon 64 x2 is made for the 939, AM2 and AM2+ sockets.

ok. then we are down to Motherboard failure, or video failure. if you have a PCI express video card, then you can try that to see if its just a bad video chip in the board.

 

[ZachSand]

I wish I had a video card to try.

 

[wolfeking]

Any friends that would loan one to you?

 

[ZachSand]

I don't believe so, I'll see.

I've sold the RAM by the way.

 

[bkribbs]

Is that a decent PSU? How much is shipping?

 

[Machin3]

pm'd

 

[ZachSand]

Is that a decent PSU? How much is shipping?

The PSU is decent, yes. It's nothing spectacular, but I haven't had any problems with it and it still works great!
Shipping will vary depending on where I'm shipping to and how quickly you want it. Shouldn't be much though.

Still interested?

 

[bkribbs]

Kind of. Depends on if my project goes through. Once I'm done, if I need it, I'll get it. But I'm not sure if I will or not, so don't hold it for me.
