I bought a 486 MB and several cards some months ago in a package deal. I also got a P8/P9 AT/ATX adapter, but it had no switch.I bought a switch and had a buddy attach some wires and leads to it.
Today, I hooked up the graphics card I got, added in a fresh battery, then set up the PC with a VGA monitor, the adapter and an ATX PSU. I turned on the switch, and nothing seemed to have happened.
To troubleshoot, I've tried a different PSU, power cable going to the PSU, switch the power leads, and making sure the VGA cable was attached properly.
Am I missing any troubleshooting possibilities or could I already have some dead electronics?
