Tiki, I got some standoffs with the casing and I installed the mobo on that. The connections seem to be ok, as far as I can see. In regards to starting with the obvious, you ARE right. That's what I'll exactly do. Thanks.
I haven't been able to spend much time on it yet. I will try tonight, hopefully, as I have been slacking on my charts. I'm hoping it's all done and over with by the coming week.
ok , much success to you. It will turn out fine. Just contact support as suggested already and they will help diagnose the issue quickly.
How Computers Work - Journey Into The Walk-Through Computer Ok, this video is like 20+ years old. It is done in a fun youth format . I started it at about 6:30 into the video with this link, just click and it will be cued, so there are about 20 minutes remaining to watch. Not kidding for anyone who lacks an understanding of just how a computer works and how it all comes together watch this. The actors will become, and be part of the inside of a working computer. Laugh away , it's a cute video but the info is still valuable and no different really today. Enjoy, chuckle, and walk away with a little more knowledge. http://youtu.be/CoxQLJkLq1c?t=5m58s
Thanks for the find! Intel 486 chip... full height 5 1/4 inch hard disk (probably storing 10MB)... those were good times! LOL
If this is intended for me, yes it has worked and continues to work great. Take your time and go back to the beginning and have a look around. It was a lot of fun to assemble and a large amount of computer info has been posted throughout. Enjoy !
