Hi, all!
I Bought a second hand sys block with bp6 mobo. When we tested it in previous owner's place it worked prefect, but when I brought it home and pressed the power button nothing happened. All the capacitors looks OK. I tried a different power supply - the same result. As I read messages on the forum, it looks very much like the caps problem, but may be there some other explanation?

Ok, I know you checked this...but did the lead come off the pwr switch pins?
There are *almost* no bad BP6s. There are mostly bad caps.
No BP6s remaining

Try installing the motherboard in another case. It could be shorting out somewhere (something may have come loose during transportation).

I don't think it's possible. I tried to reinstall the board, so possibility of shorting is about zero.
