Q: My computer won't start up?
I recently swapped cases because i purchased a computer on Ebay and was lied to about the condition of the item so I went out and purchased another case. After swapping out all the insides the case that I swapped into wouldn't work, but the case that I didn't want started up just fine. Tried out both power supplies and both were in working order so i thought it might actually be the power button board that might be bad. I swapped those out and now all I get is a faint white indicator LED light on the front of my computer but the system won't actually start up. Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks.

They say third time's the charm...well for me it was more like the 9th or 10th. Went through everything one last time before sending my computer in to get looked at by someone. I had an epiphany...maybe it wasn't simply the connections i needed to check but instead how they were connected. Went to the power button and unfastened it flipped it and reconnected it and voila! No dim white light and my computer started up. Thanks BDAqua for helping me with this problem.
