Asus MEW Troubleshooting Guide - Page 5

Solution one ASUS ATX or later motherboards come with a power LED that lights up to indicate that the board is powered on. If the power LED doesn't light up, your board may have power problems. Try the following solutions: 1. Make sure the voltage switch is set to the standard voltage value of your region. 2. Make sure the power supply is turned on ( means power off, while means power on).

Power supply unit (back) • While changing the voltage setting, unplug the power cord from the power connector to avoid damage to the power supply. • Do not connect the power cord to a 220 voltage power outlet when your power supply is set to lower voltage rate. Doing so can cause severe damage to your power supply. 3. Check if there is power: a. Remove devices between the power supply and the power outlet, such as extension power cables, power line surge protection, or UPS (Uninterruptible Power System). Connect the power cable to a wall socket directly to check if the power is interrupted by any of these devices. See picture 11. Picture 11. Connect the power cord to the wall socket b.
