Re: AC power bump, dead computer

yes you can jump it just touch it with a piece of metal but first try
unpluging the power supply for a few minutes then plug it back in and see
what happens.

Last night had a power "bump"... AC out for less than 5 seconds, then back
on. This AM, daughter's computer dead. Power supply tester says Antec
Smart Power 500 is good (even the fans not connected to the motherboard
fired up when the tester was connected). No leaking or bulging caps
apparent. Is it possible just the case power switch is bad? To test it,
can I use a jumper to (or screwdriver) to jump across the "pwr sw" pins?
It's an ASUS A8N-E board, and the green LED on the board does come on, but
nothing happens when I press the PWR button on the case.

Thanks,

Fitz
