    If cutting the power to reset the system doesn't work, look for loose wires, bad connections and examine the mother board carefully for burn marks, or scorches. Shorts or bad grounding is the first condition to examine.

    Before messing around with wiring TURN OFF THE POWER. You can always restore the power safely afterward, so why fry yourself...or worse!
