Shorted the Mobo with the PSU and it came alive! I didn't know about shorting pins on the mobo, or jump starting PSUs before this so i appreciate you all for enlightening me. Learned a couple of new things these past few days.

The short test worked for the power supply! Gonna reconnect it to the mobo now to see if everything boots up as well

Reseated the CMOS battery before I tried shorting the board using this video as a reference No reaction.

I forgot to mention that there's a cable from the front panel that's there, but I don't see a place it can be connected to on the motherboard

I will try these and see if it works

Update: pulled out the GPU, and reinserted the psu + front panel cables. No dice. What do you mean by shorting the pins

The pins are correct, as far as the diagram goes. Both. It doesn't power on.

This is a closer look at the JFP1 section. The only missing things are the reset switch

This is what the wiring looks like at the moment.

It's not that the power button doesn't work. When i connect the PSU and flip the switch on the back to provide power to the PC, the lights don't flash and fans don't move.

Hello! I recently put together a brand new PC for my father, who wants to use it for video editing. Upon testing out the first power supply, a Thermaltake SMART 600W ATX 12V V2.3/EPS 12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply PS-SPD-0600NPCWUS-W, there was no reaction from the motherboard. The box it came in was slightly beat up so i chalked it up to the PSU being damaged and reordered another. The box the new one came in was pristine, yet it still failed to power the PC so i am lead to believe the problem lies elsewhere. I did some research and apparently some motherboards have pins that have to be bridged(?) for power run properly. This is my first time working with AMD and it has proven to be a headache, so any help would be appreciated.

Here's to these things becoming easier to find down the road

Thanks for the walkthrough

i think I found it, but it was really easy to overlook
