My organization was donated an emachine T2885. When you push the on button nothing happens. The mobo light comes on when you connect the power, but nothing happens. I am looking for a chart indicating the correct connections to the board. For example the black and white wires that come from the on/off switch, I am not sure exactly where they connect to on the board itself. I know that it is not the power supply, because I connected a good one and nothing happened either. So I am checking the connections before I start looking at a possible mobo break down.

Any help will be good

The technical information on eMachine's web site is sparse. Contacting their technical support may be your only resource if there is no response here. The dead eMachines boards that I have floating around in the shop awaiting recycling don't have the front panel headers labeled either.

If your organization is a non-profit, do yourself a favor long term and replace the board with one that is compatible with the processor and memory. Asus, Intel, and some other boards have a 3 year warranty. EMachines have a 1 year warranty. I've seen a fair number of eMachines for power supply and motherboard issues post warranty.

I have this computer myself, if you want, I can send you a picture of the wires connecting from the power button to the motherboard. Ask for my email

Everything you need is here
Intel® D845GVSR "Sea Breeze" Mainboard
In the links menu, you'll find CPU info, Jumper settings and Download Drivers

Hope that helps
