I know a lot of people ask about why they aren't getting POST but I'm truly stumped and have never come across a problem like this before.

I'm fixing a V2 Premier computer for a customer; the customer said that the computer would turn on, but there was just a black screen. When I originally tested it out I thought it to be a video problem, but then after testing 3 working video cards on the machine, there was still no video.

I have done absolutely everything, but the computer will not enter POST. If it is any help, the hard drive LED is lit up the whole time it's on. But, POST takes place before hard drive referencing, so I'm not sure what it is.

If anyone has an idea or has come across this before, your help is welcome

Thanks for any help
