I replaced the power supply. But now all I get is the red hard drive light is solid. The green power light is blinking. The PC will not boot up. The new power supply doesn't have the extra plug that was on my mother board. It was plugged in right by the yellow IDE#3 slot(PNF AN-1). I'm not sure what that did. It was a blue and black wire. But I looked at 2 different power supplies and neither have the 2 wire plug. I am afraid my board is no longer good...please help.
A 450 watt power supply will have the extra pins your talking about if this is a newer pc if not you will have to buy older used one on ebay or something to get what you need
Testimonial: "I asked and even brought the old power supply to best buy. They don't have a clue.Thanks for the help"
HI:
Not all power supplies have that tiny, 2 pin plug. All it did was tell the motherboard that the power supply fan was running.
You might have problems other than a failed power supply, but the one way to check is to just plug in your new power supply to the motherboard only, and leave all the plugs disconnected from all other drives. pull the coin battery off the motherboard for a couple minutes, or clear the CMOS with the jumper, if you know how. Once you get the motherboard to POST, or power up with the new power supply, then turn it off and connect your drives, one at a time. Hopefully you will figure out what is not working
