Recently, I've been working on building a 486 machine with a AM5x86-133, 96 MB of RAM, and a ARK 2000 card, all on a PC Chips M919. I finally got all my parts in today and once I had everything installed, I flipped the switch. Only problem was that the power supply immediately switched off. I inspected my hookups and realized that I had set my left leg of my power supply such that there was one wire coming off from the power supply that was not connected. From a pinout point of view, I had just sent +12V down the +5V line. After unplugging everything except the CPU and PSU and readjusting my PSU hookup so it was correct, I tried again to see if it would beep any post codes. No dice. I realize that this motherboard is probably fried but I was curious if someone beyond my expertise(Ironic, I know.) had any insight to if this might be salvageable or not. Thanks in advance.
