		There must be a bad connection on the Motherboard. Has the motherboard ever been tampered with??

		the power connector is the white thing at the back...check that that's in properly. If it is, take it off and also take off the power supply thingy (where the power connector is connected too) and clean the 5 pins near the bottom of the board. If it still doesn't work you need to take EVERYTHING apart...so off comes the power supplyer, CD motar, ribbon cables and the metal shielding. Make sure there is NO solder on any of the chips. Then come back and tell of your progress.
