Sorry if this is a bit off-topic.
I came in the other day to find my workstation powered off. Hitting
the power on button had no effect as did using another known working
outlet. I checked all the cables and they seem attached.
I thought my power supply must have died so I got another, screwed it
in and again no joy - no sign of life.
Anybody got any ideas what the problem may be? I'm thinking possibly
the power on switch but that seems a long shot and there seems no easy
way to replace it.
I had this happen recently (BTW it was FBSD server ;-) )! I took
_everything_ appart, and then assembled it little by little checking
at each step. Incredibly it just workd after reseating the CPU, RAM,
and re-connecting every single component. Also, I swapped components
with a similar machine for testing which will help you test the
components on a known-working machine.
Good luck,

Antec Sonata case.
Gigabyte board.

Aloha,
Like Alejandro did two weeks ago I replaced a mobo that acted the same
way. I took the old board apart one device at a time and it remained
dead until I removed the CPU and and reseated it and up she came.
This desktop is in an un-airconditioned house here in Hawaii and we get
cool nights in the Winter months and warm days. Components walk out of
the sockets I think from the temperature changes and corrosion from the
tropic air.
You may want to see if this is the problem.
