maybe u can look into this manual page 1-22 to found out that error code lights. http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1150/H97M-PLUS/E9011_H97M-PLUS.pdf

well those error codes does not have to be in numbers, so long it indicates the issues and u can check that is good enough

what is that lever?

anyway maybe u can check with lose cable inside or outside of ur case?

if all problem check and no issues, maybe u have to try another psu to see.

i took the whole mobo out..

swapped psu and power buttons..

if rams or proc issue at least the mobo would boot up but will have beep sounds or wont go into windows..

checked..

guess what.. it was the power switch connector at the mobo.. not sure how come the 2 pins lost contact with the case power on switch internals..

weird issue..

yup.. also didnt work with my another power button

i went to use a screwdriver tip to connect the 2 pins on the underside and it worked.. then used it on the surface 2 pins and it worked from then on.. yes its a weird issue..

TS, which casing is that?

bitfenix

but it doesnt seem to be the casing issue as well, cos i tried another power connector and button, same cannot power on, till i decided to troubleshoot by shorting the power connectors on the underside of the mobo which worked.. then tried again using the power button (usual way) and it worked from then on..

really weird.. first time experiencing this.. almost wanted to take it to the service centre tmr.. heng ah.. otherwise the tech there will
