I received my board 1 month but lack a strong psu so now I got it but at power, the cpu fan does not spin and there is no video output from my AGP radeon 7500. But the green led on the moterboard is working. How do I continue ?

For the fan cooler, try to check the right polarity of the connector:

no beep at power on but could be I did not connect right the speaker. Ram should be ok since it is registered kingston. The fan cooler on the graphic card (ATI radeon 7500) is spinning but no the cpu fan cooler.

Step by Sptep:

1-as i already tell you, the problem with the speaker is fixable going to:

2-the fan cooler has polarity; try to invert the two leads

3-the next time, buy a pre assembled AOne :-D

Actually, I would advice going for as small a PSU as possible, because the big ones are not meant to drive as little current as the AmigaOne uses

Could be!

Try to connect a couple of old HD (only the power lines).

Thats crap a machine will only use upto the power it needs mine works fine with a 440watt qtec power supply.

Not all PowerSupply, works in the same way!
Some requires, minimum charge, to works correctly.

@ Framiga :
Thanks I will try as soon I get home for the speaker. As for the fan, I tried several times to invert, revert etc this bloody cable, even to put it on the second fan connector but no , it does not work.

At this point, could be better, if you test the fan out of AOne mobo.

If the fan is in short, the power supply protection circuit, start.

Test the fan on another PSU or any +12 volts source. The same for the GFX board (on a PC)

@lionstorm

at this point, test the GFX card on a PC.

Then, you will be sure that the AGP controller of the mobo is broken.IMHO

PS- sorry but . . .have you contacted the seller where you have purchased the A1 mobo?

Eyetech! where are you? :-D
