Dear Community Members,
Hello, my name is Vexial as you can see. I have sat here for days trying to figure this issue out but through either stubbornness or just plain ignorance I have waited till now to get some help. The issue is I picked up a Dell Precision 390 off of a friend for free, (I have soo many old computers lying around).. Anyways, I have put the computer together finally too only notice he did not give me the front panel power chip. You know the one that pushing the power button turns on the computer? :p
I have taken out another chip from an older Dell Dimension E310 and hooked it up to the Precision 390. For some reason though I get no reaction at all from the computer, then I proceeded to trying the screwdriver trick, this works as long as I have the screwdriver in it but as soon as I take it out it turns off, also whenever using the screwdriver the computer doesn't actually boot it just powers on the GPU and the Fans.
So I assume the question is what is stopping my computer from turning on.
Thank you very much for taking your time, if I posted this in the wrong place I would appreciate you to alerting me and also if there was any way I could improve my questions in the future or any further questions!
