Permanent light on floppy usually means data cable connected wrong way round
If reset switch not working its probably connected the wrong way on the MB. Its about time there was a standard plug to connect reset,pwr switch,power led etc etc instead of the fiddly little connectors that each manufacturer likes to arrange in a different order...
Connected one MB up last week where the little picture in the manual was misleading in that it was upside down compared to the board...Lucky i noticed it before trying to switch it on
The 4 pin cable from the power supply should look like the one here...

Powers up OK showing red light. Permanent light on floppy. Reset would not work but connections as per book.
I didn't have boot a disc (did I need one?) and the supplier of the original (ABIT board) did not send copy of ME 2000 disc but that is installed. There has been a short history of crashes which is why I suggested that she has a new m/b and CPU.
Any inputs will be appreciated. I have some thoughts on the problem but not wise enough to know which is maybe the right one.
Your help is sought please.
