my xt 973 will not power on, but the LED on the back panel of the power supply is on. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction, as to whether the power supply or the mother board is the problem?
Help

what color is the LED on the Power Supply.. if it is any other than green, that probably IS your problem. A lot of the major manufacturers put error LED's on their power supplies.
Did you try unplugging it for a good minute, then re-plugging. It takes a modern PSU 15 seconds to a minute to bleed down it's capacators
other than that just make sure your power switch is not broken.. there is likely a OEM (special) power switch, so I couldn't tell you how to short it without seeing it.
