Failure to Boot - Help Please

**mikel03** · 10-13-2008, 06:28 AM

Hey,

My CarPc- VoomPC2
M2-ATX
Intel 1.5ghz
2gb Ram
120g Hard Drive

After installing the wiring for the headunit and Touchscreen display the unit was working and booting fine, until i opened the VoomPC2 enclosure to attach CD rom via the IDE power and cable to install windows.

The unit just stoped working at this point.

any help would be great

Thanks

We would need more details:

What exactly happens when you try to turn on your PC? Do any fans spin, does the board show that it's receiving power? Have you tried disconnecting the CD-Rom?

Install the software on a test bench, not in the car.

Yes the fans do spin but the unit doesnt power up.

Ive removed the cd rom and tryed but same problem

Thanks

Is it a motherboard that requires the extra 4 pin power cable? That's what the Intel board does when you don't connect that cable, the fan spins but the computer doesn't boot.

AC power:
Use a regular AC power supply.
