Here's an odd one...

A coworker brought in a relatively new Dell that would not respond in any way to pressing the On switch. I tested the switch - works great. I jumpered the PS-ON pin on the power supply to ground and it fired up perfectly. I reconnected the switch, removed all the loads (disk drives, unnecessary expansion cards, RAM, etc) and tried again - no response. I measured the voltage at the PS-ON connection to the MB while pressing the ON switch - no change. I reported all the symptoms to Dell, having decided the the MB has a problem, and they agreed. A replacement MB and power supply were shipped and installed. The same problem continues.Sigh | :sigh:

Am I missing something obvious, or is this box infected with gremlins?
