Check the
System Unit if
properly plug
to correct
outlet or if the
AVR is power
ON
STEPS:
1. Power ON the ATX
power supply unit at
back panel and
check the proper
voltage input if it is a
switching power
supply unit
STEPS:
2. If the AVR is not
working, test the
FUSE at the back
panel using
ohmmeter to test its
continuity. If the AVR
is ok proceed on
testing power cable
STEPS:
3. Test the Power
Cable if working
using multi tester.
Use Ohmmeter
scale to test the
continuity of the
cable.

Check the
System Unit
Power
Button if
working
STEPS:
1. Locate the
Power Button
connector on the
motherboard
front panel pin
configuration
STEPS:
2. Disconnect the

mode.
STEPS:
2. Set back the
jumper to normal

Test the ATX
Power Supply
Unit using
paper clip
and Multi-
tester
 STEPS:
1. Short the GREEN
PIN (POWER ON) and
any BLACK PIN
(GROUND) on the 20
or 24 pins ATX main
connector using
paper clip.
 STEPS:
2. Power On the ATX
PSU and see if the
fan will work. If fan is
not working, use
multi tester to test
each pins
 STEPS:
3. Set the selector
range to 50v DC and
Test the 4 pin peripheral
power connector using
multi-tester. If there is
no response on the
multi-tester, replace the
power supply unit
