Do you have a volt meter? This is kind of risky but stick that in the inverter plug, fire up the machine and see if it is pumping out any voltage. If it isn't, then you know its the inverter

ill try it, but that might not necessarily tell me what's wrong. I mean, what if the mobo is not supplying power to the inverter. Does anyone know the pinouts on the mobo fot the inverter connector?
