help troubleshooting a computer that wont turn on
i have a computer that i am trying to fix. here is the problem:
when you press the power button, there is no signal to the monitor (nothing at all, no bios, nothing) , and the monitor just goes to sleep . i opened up the pc and saw that the fans were working fine when i turn it on (thinking the powersupply might be ok).
i think it could be two things, the power supply or the motherboard.
my predictions are that it is the video on the motherboard (no video card)
please help me troubleshoot this computer, i have purchased a powersupply tester, but the instructions are not clear at all, so i am no too sure how to use it. here is the power supply tester that i bought.
if someone could give me easy instructions on how to use it that would be great!

i would really appreciate your help
