Title: 1.4mobo Only Turns On With The Eject Button
Post by: timcki on March 17, 2005, 03:36:00 AM

Okay...
 I just got a new motherboard with a small problem. As the title says ,
the only reliable way to turn the ebox on is the eject button. It can be turned off
by hitting the on/off button..

First, YES  I have  replaced the on/off switch  with a different one.
second YES, I did change out the power supply
Third, both the button and the power supply work fine with other motherboards

The motherboard is a 1.4 or 1.5 (focus video chip)
with a stock bios.
Once it is turned on , the xbox plays just fine  like normal.
 
Has any body seen this, or is this just a bad motherboard?

look for burned resistor on the mobo near the on/off connection.

Check around R3G3 on v1 to v1.5 and R3G6 on V1.6

If it was a burned out resistor, the on/off switch wouldn't work at all right??
