Media System not posting

[Weirdybeardyman]

Hello there,

I have been given a Russound SMC-40 http://www.protectionelectronics.com/images/Russound_SMC_Brochure.pdf by a friend in working condition.

I disassembled it, removing one of the 500gb HDD's for my main system, then wiped the other one and installed windows 7 on it.

Everything progressed without any hitches and had the system booted once. I then turned it off and looked for drivers for it which were quite hard to find.

I then plugged it into the power, turned on the PSU, the system powered on and abruptly turned off without me pressing any buttons, it then would not power on again and just repeats this.

I have checked each of the RAM chips and each one gives the same result.

I would greatly appreciate anybody's help in troubleshooting.

 

-Working Hypothesis-

PSU is faulty

Touchscreen power button is faulty- although lights up when pressed intermittently.

Yeah, try another PSU maybe,
