Why won’t my PC start?
Don’t panic. The most common reason for this is because you connected the
ATX power switch cable to the wrong pins on the mainboard. Verify the
position of the power patch cable on the mainboard. Check the mainboard
documentation to verify the position of the connector for ATX power switch
cable.
If that doesn’t help, remove the TV card and restart your PC. If you still cannot
turn the computer on, the problem is not caused by VideoMateTV. Recheck
the ATX power switch cable connection.
If your computer cannot boot up after plugging in VideoMate DVB-T300 PCI
Tuner card, switch the blue jumper from JX13 to JX12 in order to solve this
problem.
If your computer cannot boot up while plugging in VideoMate DVB-T200 PCI
Tuner card, switch the blue jumper from J8 to JX1 in order to solve this
problem as the last resort.
My system cannot Power Up, What should I do?
First, make sure you have connected the Power Up circuit correctly. Please
refer the hardware installation section for more information.
Second, make sure you see a green LED light on the VideoMate
DVB-T300/T200 PCI tuner card. If you don’t see the green light, your
motherboard does not support the standby power. You can only use Power Up
with motherboards that provide standby power.
Third, Power Up will start your computer 5 minutes in advance of the schedule
time. If you set the schedule on 4 o’clock, Power up will wake up your
computer at 3:55. Therefore, you need to shut down the computer before 3:54
in order to let Power Up start the computer.
Fourth, make sure you have the correct schedule time, Also, verify your
system time or clock.
Fifth, some motherboards BIOS have an option “Wake up by PME# or PCI.”
This option must be ENABLED to use Power Up function.
Finally, it is possible that your power supply doesn’t provide the standard 3.3V
standby power. Therefore, changing your power supply might help.
