Thats what I was going to say. The OPUS is very defensive about the juice coming into it. If its even one watt below what it requires, it will not turn on because it thinks your battery is low. What wattage OPUS did they send you?

I think it was a 120.

I have a PC from like 7 years ago and it uses a 150 watt supply. Did you read the manual from OPUS? They have it online at http://opussolutions.com. Maybe a jumper is set incorrectly.

WAIT WAIT WAIT...... stupid me not asking the right questions. What type of blink is it. If its a steady blink of 2 seconds apart, then it means it is getting good power. If its 2 bilinks back to back followed by a pause, then something is wired wrong. Check to make sure you connected the cable to the MoBo on switch header correctly. Maybe you have it backwards?

Idk if it's getting enough power or not. The light is blinking once every 2 seconds. It's an Opus 120. Saul and I are hacking the case up right now so it'll fit underneath my seat. I'll post pics when I get home.

Then you must have wired the switch to the MoBo wrong. The steady blink means its getting enough power and working as it should.

Trouble shooting guide

Thanks HiJack.


*ON TOPIC*
The project is officially on a hiatus for the next couple of weeks. I have a dossier to put together by Saturday and my SAT to take Saturday. I need to get my ticket printed out and all my stuff together for that. Not to mention, school's almost over, but then summer college prep stuff starts the week after I get out of school.. Oh, well. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. I'll be able to use the collage Internet, though. *evil grin* Too bad I can't hack anything there...

Hey man, I'll be passing thru pretty close to your town on friday May 8th. I'm gonna head out to the TX meet I think, but will be stopping in Midland first to do some maintenance for a client. Wondering if you wanted to meet up and try to get some stuff done on your ride, if so I'll duck out of here early.

I might try. Where are you going to be making stops? I think by that time, mom and I both will be needing a vacation... Did you get your psu today?

*OFF TOPIC* I am hosting files for people who need space. I can only offer 10 MB to about five people for a month. If you know of anyone who needs space, let them know and I'll see what I can do. On that note, I'm hosting an EP for a friend of mine's band, "White Lies and Photographs" to be released at midnight. The link to it will be posted on his band's MySpace page located at: http://www.myspace.com/brianclaytonmusic

Well if anyone needs to host files, I run my own servers.... infact if anyone likes StarCraft, I have StarTrek Armada 2, which is StarTreks version of StarCraft. Ive been looking for people to play with me. You can download the ISO and then burn it and we setup a game. Being that said you can also upload files, just remember I run them from my house so my upload isnt fast. I run my own servers because with hosted servers I can put what ever I want. Im creating a TV station and it will have alot of bad language and nudity and most hosting doesnt allow the later.

My project is also slowed to a crawl. I decided to rip out all of my audio system and start fresh with a monster system. That costs alot of money (I have to get a second job to pay for it) then im starting with the PC again. Im also selling my SSD, I cant figure out how to configure it and its giving me a headache. I may go back to HDD.
