My computer seems not to turn on anymore, I've opened the side panel and see MANY disconnected wires/clips. The power button is disconnected from one port, but connected to another, and I can't seem the TWO connection points on the motherboard to turn it on. All power externally works fine, so I know it's an internal problem. The computer is an Asus essentio, and the power button's microswitch is functional, so it's not the common bad button problem.
Would these happen to be the two points you can connect to turn on the computer? (The two prongs with the blue rectangles NEAR them.Which model of essentio would that be? Are there any model numbers on the motherboard?I see JUMPERS on those pins, so I would not connect anything to them other than the jumpers themselves for whatever mode this enables/disables, or setting they control speed etc of etc. It would be good to locate the motherboard manual online by looking up the ASUS Essentio ( board identification part number ) which will have a layout showing all features, what these jumpers are for that you have pictured, as well as the proper pins for power on, reset, hard drive, power led, internal speaker, etc. This is where Kurtiskain is going with asking what model number that board is, which should be white silk SCREEN on that board near the CPU, RAM, or central to the board itself. My wifes ASUS motherboard starts out as P5Q-xxxx
