A1XE : cpu fan not running, no video output

[Tomas]

Did you connect the power button properly? even without ram, hds, fans and such should spin.

There is usually a light on mobos that will be lit even without pressing the power button, enough to have the psu hooked up.

No video output but fans should spin up and will make a few beeps if pc speaker is hooked up.

@ 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.
Never heard before about this reset bug in Radeon card (mine is AGP)

Maybe the fan is dead? Also maybe try booting it without the fan hooked up, maybe it has some shortcut or something.

One more question... Have you tried moving around the ram? Some mainboards is a bit picky of which slot the ram is plugged in. And also... You should test the gfx card in a pc or something, to see if it works there.

Not an issue. RAM should work in either slot.  What might cause problems is if the module is not properly seated, some of them have a hard time sliding completely into the socket.

Actually i have encountered some motherboards being picky about this.. One i had was even picky about what order the sdram was in. :O Not very usual but some few actually have a prob with this, and neither anything to loose from trying  ;-)

Do you mean "motherboards in general" or "AmigaOne boards"? In the latter case, the memory should really either work on both slots, or not at all. If it doesn't, then the board is broken  :-)

Motherboards in general yeah... I have no experience whatsoever with the AmigaONE boards, since i dont have one myself.  :-)
