I am pretty sure that I connected the power supply correctly. The FIC 503+
is an AT board and I made sure that the P8 and P9 connectors were aligned
right, with the blacks wires adjacent to each other. I don't
know...hopefully I connected them right! The power supply fan and the CPU
fan turn on, so I think the power supply is functional. Assuming that that
end of the problem is covered, I am left with having ruined the mboard.
Ideas, anyone? Or do I resign myself to getting another mboard?
