Why the fans on the motherboard are not working? Got here a pretty old motherboard, CUV4X running P3. It has 3 fan connectors on it (for cpu fan etc). However, when I connect the fans, they're not working, not a single fan power plug seems to have power in it. The same fans work fine when connected to another motherboard. What could be the problem? I have enough knowledge about the computers, and changing the hardware constantly around, yet never met anything like this. I've tried to see if there're any settings in BIOS I should play with, yet didn't find anything there. All other functions of the motherboard are working, and I didn't abuse it in any way, didn't even try to overclock it, so I doubt that anything burned out in it. Should I switch some pins around or anything? I got the cpu fan working by connecting it directly to the harddrive power plug (found an adapter left from somewhere), yet I'd like to make the MB work the way it's supposed to, not some alternate methods. Looking for a solution, not empty talk. Mr. Cameron L, you have my attention. Would you please elaborate on "ESD in just the wrong spot" by editing your answer? If I solve my problem by your advice, you're guaranteed the best answer for this question. PSU is fine. I've run it with another MB and the fans run with no problems. PS. Mr. XP4ME, thank you for your answer, yet it'd be nice if you'd read the question completely before answering. Your suggestion is how I solved the problem, and I wrote about it.
