Hi,
I got a Namco ES3 system, it was working fine, now it doesn't power on.
The power supply is running (fan spinning slowly) but the system doesn't power (full fan speed, power on).
The ESIF2 PCB got one green light: 5VSB.
What i tried:
- using ES3 power supply in a PC: it's working.
- using an ATX power supply in ES3: not starting.
- shorting "power on" pin header with the original and ATX power supply: not starting.
- replaced the coin cell (it was 3.005v): no change.
- cleared CMOS, without the coin, without power (like stated in motherboard manual): no change.
- removed graphic card, ram, hdd... no change.
- reseated CPU: no change.
When i have time I will try part exchange with a working ES3 but in the meantime i hope this thread gives me hints.
