I have a windows xp desktop, givin to me, it was DOA, replaced motherboard,new memory stick.
Power up the machine, fans all run, green light is lit on motherboard.
I cannot seem to get it to start and give me a screen to work with.
A red light is on, on the front of the machine, green light does not come on.
How do i by a process of elimination find the problem? If i plug in the cd rom drive the lights come on but cant open the door unless i disconnect the grey ribbon cable then it opens.
