VGX-XL100 Doesnt power up

[garrydeakin]

Hi Guys

My XL100 no longer powers up, I get a green light on the motherboard but pressing the power button doesnt start the system up.  I am thinking it may be a board problem - any ideas

Thanks

Hi garrydeakin

I'm no expert, but I guess it could be a motherboard issue or maybe faulty PSU?
The VGX-XL motherboard are pretty solid, however I have heard reports of a few of them having blown capacitors..

..if this is the case they can be replaced.
Alternatively you could upgrade your motherboard to one from a VGX-XL202...

Just like Woody did...
