I came home and my Mythbuntu computer was off. I hit the power button and
nothing happened: no sounds, no lights, zip. I figured my power supply unit
(PSU) took a dive. I unplugged the main connector from the motherboard (MB) and
did the paper clip test where you put a paper clip in the green and black
sockets and when I did this the PSU fan spun. It also turned on the pc fan but
the CPU fan wasn't spinning (it's connected to the MB). I figured it was the
CPU fan that took a dive. I then unplugged the PC fan and plugged the CPU fan
into this socket and did the paper clip again and the CPU fan started spinning.
This now leads me to believe the MB has taken a dive. The MB has a lifetime
warranty so I may send it in but if it isn't the MB then I get charged. Anyone
have any suggestions?
