Golden tee stop working
Big Al from FL:
Bump TTP, this was a great thread that helped me get my GT motherboard back running.
I think one of the best threads around relating to current GT motherboards.
Thanks again lilshawn for all your tech advice!!!
GREAT to have my mobo working again!

I have the imbm-b75a-a20-it01 motherboard with the EXACT same issue. I replaced the power supply, I get a green light on the motherboard, but NOTHING spins up. See picture.
What are my options?

right off the bat, just looking at your photo...
plug in your ATX12v plug next to the CPU. it won't work without it.
although that board has a 2x4 position ATX12v socket... you don't NEED to use a 2x4 ATX12v plug... a regular 2x2 ATX12v plug, inserted into one half (appears to be the side nearest the CPU "half" of the socket) will work just fine. you will find the plug is keyed to plug into one portion anyway.

I did that - no POST. Using HDMI connection from the board. Don't have a VGA monitor. Not sure if that makes a difference. I was able to use a screwdriver to jumper it to start so the fans all spin but nothing appears on the monitor itself.
lilshawn:
if it does not do it's "post beep" could be a funky connection on the CPU. if you pull off that cooler and pop out the CPU and stick it back in again, it may start working again.
i have encountered some motherboards if they have been reset to default (dead bios battery or the like) will not boot up without a good voltage reading on the battery and the "first" video device being connected...
typically this is the lowest connector on the totem pole. (typically this goes VGA, then HDMI/DVI, then display port) so unfortunately if you have a VGA port on the board, you may have to find a VGA monitor just to see if things are booting.
failing that, iv'e had limited success erasing the CMOS settings (a jumper setting or remove battery, you'll have to check your particular board.)
