No post with sam400ep?

Have you tried contacting Acube or the vendor for support? I don't own a Sam and many here don't (though some do).

i bought it on ebay from a member of a.org?

Did you try contacting this member? You could still try contacting Acube for support, the board may still be under warranty. Did you get a manual with it?

could it be because it was from norway and im in britain that i need to change something on the motherboard?

No.

...is there a power switch on the back of the PSU?

True, good point. Do you know the power supply is good? Is there a power switch on the back of the power supply and on? Is there a 110/220 switch on the back and is it switched to 220?

I have 0 (ZERO) experience with SAM, but some PC motherboards used to ship with the clear CMOS jumper set and you have to change this jumper before using it. You really need a manual, maybe Acube has one online for download?
