WOZ: no power to motherboard?

Took the game out of storage and it's dead.

Cabinet power switch causes the dedicated power supply for the led lighting to fire up, and the monitor comes on, but I don't see the fan spinning on the ATX power supply and there doesn't seem to be any power getting to the motherboard.

Thoughts? Short of swapping out the ATX power supply, am I missing something?

Did you try pressing the power button on the computer or shorting the pins if there isn’t a button?

Motherboard needs to signal ATX to start so try the jump first

hey Mike! Hope you're doing great.

Thanks to both you and the guy that followed you for posting this tip. It worked like a charm. Well, tbh, the third try worked - but who cares?? It's fixed! (And I'm Glad Butch mentioned in his video that if it didn't do the trick the first time to keep trying.)

I also learned that I should probably go get a fresh CR2032 battery for the motherboard. The one in there is from at least 2013 but yeah, still works.

Cheers fellas.
