First Install Gone Sour

[GregR]

I installed Xecuter 3CE on a 1.0 and the first power up had a red light and solid blue HD light for the X3 and the eject button flashed red and green.
I removed everything except the pin header. Now it powers up using the eject button and the eject button flashes green and yellow. I've checked the points for voltage and everything looks good except pin 1 has 2 volts rather than .2 volts. Should I try and remove the pin header?

Update: I didn't know I had to have the video cable plugged in. The only thing not working is the power button. It powers on with eject button but I can't power off. I guess I'll try installing X3 again.

For a quick solution, try to double, triple check the wires that plug into
the Power/Eject No Solder Adapter.

Ok now I got the bios screen. I'm still unable to power up or down with the power button. This is with or without X3 installed. Something went wrong but at least it's not that as serious a problem as before.

Yeah... make sure your power button and stuff is plugged in

When I installed my first mod... I kept foregetting to plug everything back into the motherboard.... Got so annoyed that I just stopped screwing my motherboard in and checking for everything...make sure EVERY plug is put in properly and tightly.

Everything is plugged in. I assume the eject button wouldn't work if that cable wasn't plugged in.

It was the power button. Changed out the front panel. Problem solved.
