Anyone know how to troubleshoot the case whereby only the +12V LED of a PCI-based POST card is illuminated? -12 V, 5 V, an 3.3V LEDs are not lit. I tried 2 power supplies with the same result. Motherboard doesn’t show any signs of life. Motherboard is a P3TDE6 (dual Tualatin). It worked a second ago, and then it didn’t after moving it to a case. Aside from the move to the case, the only other change was adding the RAID card and swapping from CPUs with S-Spec SL5XL to SL6BY. Swapped back to SL5XL, but still no signs of life.
CPU fans spin up. Keyboard lights blink. I measured about 33-ohms between +5V and GND. Power supply stays energised.
Considering that the power supply stays engaged, I’m wondering why the POST card doesn’t show more voltages. Does the PCI bus not receive its power directly from the power supply? Is the north or south bridge feeding the PCI bus power?
