G-Man, we ran some more tests last night. Hubby put the meter on the =
power switch and it did exactly what you said it would do - it dropped =
then came back up. He did it 5-6 times with the same results every =
time. He also scraped the pins on the motherboard, but nothing changed. =
We moved all the front panel wires to both positions since this case =
came with some pretty useless documentation and only the message wires =
actually mark which side is positive and which side is negative. When =
the computer had a spurt of coming on with the power switch, it was even =
coming on when the wires were in the wrong position.
There IS one interesting thing to note here. We put the screwdriver =
across the pins again several times and it started right up every time. =
Both times that we have done this, the computer would come on the first =
time every time after plugging the switch wire back in. But after a few =
times, it starts skipping again. And after being off for hours, I have =
to press the Start button a bunch of times before it comes on. Hubby =
wants to replace the power supply and see what happens.
