I tried unplugging everything from the motherboard and plugging the power back in and nothing happens. I also tried systematically disconnecting items separately and still had the same result. I can only see the power cord light up when plugged into the DC input board if I unplug the cable that goes from the DC input board to the motherboard. As soon as I plug it back in, the power cord does not light up. If this cable is disconnected, the power cord lights up orange but nothing will obviously work. I assume the motherboard is dead? If anyone has any other ideas before I buy a motherboard, please let me know. Also any problems in replacing it that anyone can warn me of would be greatly appreciated! Thanks to all for the help as always!
