[RESOLVED] Medion computer

[quicksilver65]

Medion won't boot.
the two sets of wires are not hooked up

ATX SW Green & Black
Power Led Green & White

I think it has a N1996 motherboard.
That is all I can find.

The computer is a Medion Model PC MT6

I would like to know where they connect to the motherboard.

I have looked and googled and can not find out where.

My brother in law took they off and can not remember where from.

I would appreciate any help

Thanks in advance.

N1996 is not a motherboard model, it is a MSI code number required for products sold in Australia.

Look between the PCI slots for the name of the MB. Example in picture below.

I.e., Make/Manufacturer: "MSI", Model number: "K8T Neo-V".

Thanks for your reply.

I hope this is it.

See page 2-21 for details on the motherboard connector labeled "JFP1":



1) Power switch connects to pins 6 and 8
2) Reset switch connects to pins 5 and 7
3) Power LED connects to pins 2 and 4
4) Hard Drive LED connects to pins 1 and 3

Thanks for the reply

Not to sounds to stupid,

the plugs have printed on them

green and white is labled POWER LED, So it goes on 2-4
green and black is labled ATX SW
does it go on 6-8 ?



Thanks again

Yes, on 6 & 8. The power switch can be connected either way, the LED is polarity sensitive, so if it doesn't light, turn the connector thorough 180 degrees.

[quicksilver65]

When I hook it up that way,
The led blinks one time, but that is all.
The computer will not come on.

Would it blink if the Power supply is bad?

If so< how can I be sure the Poweer supply is bad?

Thanks again, for the replies.

If you have, or can borrow, a multimeter, here's how to test the power supply:

Testing PSU Voltages

ATX Power Supplies

Trigger Power Supply for testing

In depth look at the power supply

Or alternatively you can buy a proper PSU tester, they don't cost much:

PSU Tester

ATX12V PSU Tester

SuperSparks, I jumped the green and black on the
plug. When I turned it on nothing happened.

I guess that means the power supply is out.

I want to make sure the POWER LED & ATX SW where hooked
up right first.

Guess I will have to try another Power Supply.

Thanks again

[SuperSparks]

If the power supply won't turn on when it is jumped, then it is dead for sure

[quicksilver65]

The Power supply in it is
Model #FTP250-60MDN-120US
--------------
I have a
Sun Cheer
Model # MPT-301

Can I use it?

Thanks again

Thanks again

[quicksilver65]

I changed the PS
The computer booted up and
seems to be doing alright.

Thanks for pulling me thru another Job.

This forum has never let me down.

Thanks again

[SuperSparks]

You're very welcome, I'm glad you got it sorted out

[quicksilver65]

my brother inlaw is happy. He thought it was gone for good.

Thanks again for all the help.

hi i only have two plugs to the front panel. power led and atx sw.

1) Power switch connects to pins 6 and 8
2) Reset switch connects to pins 5 and 7
3) Power LED connects to pins 2 and 4
4) Hard Drive LED connects to pins 1 and 3

as these have two openings next to each other, i can only put them into odd or even pins. i don't understand how that can be possible. am i missing something?
