I have done all the usual stuff like trying new PSU, bench testing etc. Its dead - as in no fans, no nothing when you hit PWR button - PSU doesnt even come on. I connected the ATX molex from the PSU and shorted Green (PWR ON) with GND on the molex and the PC came on. All seemed fine. I think there is a IC on the motherboard between the PWR BTN headers from the power on switch and the ATX header on the mobo that tells PSU to start up. The MB circuit only tells the enable circuit inside the PSU to let the PSU turn on. To what voltage does the PWR_ON (green wire) fall when you push the ON/OFF switch? The MB must pull this wire lower than 1.5v for the PSU to turn on. I have seen enable logic failure modes where, for example, 1.2v would not turn the PSU on, but 1.0v would. Check that voltage level before replacing any ICs on the MB. When I hit the pwr button that voltage level doesnt change.....(and the switch is fine) What are the standby voltages at the on/off pins on the motherboard header? If there is no +3.3VSB or +5VSB, I would check the LD1117 linear regulator near the ATX Molex connector. FWIW, my old socket 7 motherboard uses an SiS 5597/5598 all-in-one chipset. The chip has an ONCTL# output pin which controls the PSU's PS_ON input, and a PWRBT# input pin which appears to connect directly to the on/off "power button". This is debounced internally by the chipset by means of a 30ms delay. The 4 second off timer is also handled internally by the chipset. SiS5597, Silicon Integrated System, Pentium PCI/ISA Chipset:http://www.datasheetarchive.com/pdf-...ts-30/DSA-5948... - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. Hi Franc, Excellent suggestions. There is 5v on the On/Off headers. This motherboard (ECS L4S5MG/561) uses the SiS561 chipset (northbridge?) but whats the other chipset under the black heat sink? southbridge? How do I work out the number of the other chipset short of degluing it? -Al Found it: SiS651 North Bridge and SiS 962L MuTIOL South Bridge chipsets. Now I need to see if one of those chips controls ON/OFF switching. If it does then probably chipset dead? -Cheers -Al |

Power controller chip to turn on ATX

finger to keyboard and composed: Found it: SiS651 North Bridge and SiS 962L MuTIOL South Bridge chipsets. Now I need to see if one of those chips controls ON/OFF switching. If it does then probably chipset dead? Maybe a standby portion of the chipset is powered from the LD1117 regulator??? The PWRBT input may be 5V tolerant, which could explain why the on/off header measures 5V. If the PWRBT input is indeed directly connected to the power button, then could it have suffered ESD damage??? - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |
