1. Don't know what this means.
2. Before or after #1?
3. You now have replacement mobo; exactly the same as the 1st?
4. How could it power on if the psu was "missing a leg of voltage "?
5. What stopped working, the psu?
6. If the psu isn't working, this would be normal.
1. What that means is it was doing the samething, but gave a different fault on the monitor.
2. I replaced the motherboard because the geek squad at best buy suggested that, because it was an onboard video card.
3. You lost me there?
4.The voltage that was missing from the PSU was a 5V leg going to the motherboard power connection.
5. The PSU looked as if it was working because the fan was running and the light was on.
6. Same thing this time, the PSU looks like it is working normally, light is on and the fan is running and everything is getting power except the fault displays on the monitor and that is as far as it will get; No bios, nothing.
I am going to check the PSU again. If that is the problem again. I have a power issue going to the computer I would think.
