Hola. I did some research before posting but could not find the same issue.
So... I bought a cMP 5.1 from ebay, single tray. It had a rough trip around north america. The seller didnt know if it worked but at least theres was a flashing folder ( make sense, no hard drive).
When I got it, it took me a couple time to make it chime. Next day, nothing, then after many try it chime, then nothing (I did the pram/nvram reset, smc reset, rtc reset). So heres the issue:
- Power on by itself when plugged to a wall outlet.
- Take multiple time to chime and upon restart wont post/chime.
- When it wont post, fan run normal but nothing is initialized (black screen, no keyboard)
- When it wont post, or post, the diag led indicate 'gpu ok', 'efi ok' and 'psu pwrok', so no corrupted eeprom.
- When powered off, the diag led indicate '5v stby', so the psu *could* be ok.
I've checked the bakplane pin, they are ok. The plastic pin on the northbridge are undamaged but will replace with nylon screw.
All and all, the only thing I can think atm is that the power supply is faulty. So did I miss something or my assumption are correct ? I wish there was some diy atx to cMP conversion out there, these psu will all fail in the long run :/ I got a partial refund from the seller, so I'l take that money to buy a replacement enclosure. Its a bit of a bummer if on top I have to buy a new psu.
Any help appreciated
