Computer start switch ?? not the power supply switch
I have a 2-3 year old lenovo [IBM] i7 mini box
we had a power spike from a local lighting strike not on the house
just a power spike
the box was OFF but plugged in to a power strip with a surge suppressor
odd thing is the box was working right after
but the ATT universe box blew so no net or tv
so I tryed the power supply but no luck
then tryed a spare P/S no result no fan no lights no beep
but then tryed the paper clip test and the P/S spins it's fan
as does the other P/S but not in the computer
so now I am suppecting the tiny switch on the front panel
problem is the extra switch I took off an older intel box
only has two wires while the IBM box's switch has jumpers
to the other pins 4 wire total and the plug on the other end is very different wire count and positions at the mother board plug end too
so my question is why does the IBM units switch have jumpers ?
what do they do
both switches look the same 1/4'' square plastic and should swap
but one has 6 pins but two wires
the IBM unit has 4 wires to 4 pins but only two wires go to the M/b
but on different M/B clip pins
the others are jumped to pins on the switch
why ain't this junk standardized !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
14 pin powersupply but the replacement is 20+4
I think I got that part right by cutting unused wires
help !!!!!!!!
