The power button didn't work at all..

I took the cable off in the back of it and put it back after few sec. Then when I pressed the power button it lights for a fraction of sec, then goes off and nothing more is happening...

Anybody has idea what is wrong? I think its about PSU..

but I'm not sure..

Where can I get new PSU to S-presso?

Thanks!

Now since 2.5 years, I've problems to power on the barebone. Sometimes I get ok after several attemps (unplugging the cord each bad power). The symtons are message WAIT instead of the clock. And powering itself off or powering on itself without pressing the button. Also four lights in the front panel becomes yellow instead green. So when the powering on has reached to that situation. When you go to calculator program it puts and quits the - sign. Also it pressing all the time the ALT caused by the front panel that interprets pussing it all the time.

And when I have a good restart, it can stay days without unplugging. But I noticed that I connected a USB hard disk an d becomes the strange thing.

Do you think that those strange things are caused by PSU or motherboard?

Now, i see that is very difficult to find new barebones or PSU to buy it.

P.D.: I'm still waiting from ASUS a response with that problem.

Finally was the PSU, that reach to the end. Now searching a clonic model or best visual psu if it placed outside the barebone.

I find one of 400W with ventilation for barebones (very hard to find it). But cannot fix cause the height, but width is capable. So I put two supports in each side of the psu exterior, as you can see there are 4 holes to put screws. The supports are the metal things that covers the pci and agps cards outside the box and with a plastic cd that comes when you buy a splindle DVD or CDS i placed between the two metal is each side. Moreover the PSU is lightweight, so with that can support the PSU without problem. Beside that the 20 pin ATX is also doing the support.

And now i got a psu with the ventilation upside, and the 20 pin ATX cable just to reach to the mainboard. It measures 31/32 cm.

Now i've got alive the Spresso, and with that labour i could place others PSU.

That should be fine. Congratulations!

Hi guys,

after 2 years of mythtv on the S-presso I gave up and tried MediaPortal on the S-Presso. I can recommend it. Quick and painless. There's even a plugin that allows you to use the remote! took a bit of swearing to get it to work 100% - just had to find a file that clashed and delete it.

They have another plugin to interface with the front display. I am not too fussed, will give it a go later.

Hope this helps someone out there.

Cheers
