So I bought my m2 from this site 6 months ago and never tried using it until today (ive been using the carpc inside the house for something else). However, one day, 5 or so months ago when i was moving stuff around in my room, I accidentally stepped on the m2 (not hard). The fat round cylinders bent slightly to the side as well as the fuse.
The fuse didn't blow, and no connections look to be broken. Theres a good chance that i didnt damage it at all when i stepped on it. But it wont provide power to the mobo.

It boots flawlessly inside with a standard power supply. But with the m2, its like its dead. I have the red wire connected to the positive battery terminal thru 30 amp fuse (should i get lower amp'd fuses?). i have the ground to ground, and the white wire is hooked up to the ignition, which registers 0v unless the key is in cranking position then it registers 12v. When i crank it, the fans dont spin, nothing happens. I dont have anything plugged in when im doing this like a kb or monitor but im pretty sure that isnt necessary just to test to see if the power is reaching the mobo.
Is there a way to test for sure if the m2 is shot? Like multimeter testing a certain connection on the power cord?
Here are pics of the m2...
Any ideas??? I've finally got some free time to move the carpc to the car for once but i'm stuck! I appreciate any help. Thanks!
