I've recently run into a few motherboards that won't power on when jumping the power button pins. Going back to the root of all evil I first checked my PSU for the +5v Standby then checked it all the way to the pin. All Good. Even checked other standby places on MB and got the +5v. PSU will kick if jumping the Green wire on the 24 pin connector but will immediately shut off when pulled. When it is running I'm not getting normal post nor video. I have repaired alot of SB950 chipsets for video problems in the past. so my question is. Does the Power_On circuit also run through the South Bridge and it being bad create a fault in the Power_On Circuit.
I sem to be running into more and more of these boards with this issue and would like to figure this out. This particular board is the Asus M5A97.
Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
