Hello. I have had this board for a while and it is an excellent board to make into my new server with a spare dual-core I have.
Problem is, it does not turn on.
Yes, I plug everything properly - so dont tell me about that...
I think its fried. But do you know what part is most likely to be fried and in need or a replacement?
Do they have fuses on-board?
It is a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P. Most commonly blown one...
followed by,
Ultradurable 2.
MY ASS it is!
Thanks.

Gigabyte Mother/Mainboard NOT getting any power...
It may sound obvious, but did you try another power supply?

Yes I did. haha.
Any other options? Something must be blown on the board but what goes first??

Re: Gigabyte Mother/Mainboard NOT getting any power...
Does it have any puffy capacitors? (It shouldn't; Ultra Durable boards should have solid state caps.)
Are there any standby lights?
Stupid question: are you sure you're reading the front panel pinout right, and are you sure your power button actually works? (I helped a friend of mine build a PC, and his case had a bad power button so the reset button filled that role.)

Re: Gigabyte Mother/Mainboard NOT getting any power...
Uh, I have actually not given the board a good look over so I will do that now... But no. There are no blown caps. All solid state capping...
On the back of the board, there seems to be next to a screw post, some trace scratches... I can sand them down a bit and see if there 'broken'...
Apart from that everything is OK.
No standby lights show.
And yes. I plug it all in right. I bought the same board as this was for a repair, and that one worked as it was new - so there is something wrong with the board no doubt.
Thanks for the help!

OK no blown caps at all, and the traces were not broken.
I will re-test the board again soon...
When a mobo protects itself from a short, etc... what fuse blows? (or do they just take it and fry)
Thanks.

Re: Gigabyte Mother/Mainboard NOT getting any power...
Nah, its fried for sure.
It just does not want to turn on...
No signs of life from it.
Oh well. Good for spare parts I guess...

Re: Gigabyte Mother/Mainboard NOT getting any power...
Well I looked and there are a lot of them.
Any ones in particular that you think would be blown?
I mean, in a power surge what would go first (of course, it bypassed the PSU)??
Its a lot of trouble to get it working and probably not worth it.
If anyone wants to buy it off of me for like $20 then im all for it. lol.

Re: Gigabyte Mother/Mainboard NOT getting any power...
Nah, I need the processor. lol.
Board only, with faceplate and not original box (anti-static bag included).
Even $15 is ok with me...
Or $10 and I get 3 of those BC-03 / 02 cartridges

Re: Gigabyte Mother/Mainboard NOT getting any power...
So for 12 BC-02 cartridges I get the motherboard? (Begins search for box of cartridges.)
