Motherboard: no smoke or smell just sits
Hi peeps one of my boxes just decided to crap out...
Anyone know if there is a way to revive a motherboard? Before it refused to start it was just idling & seeding torrents, was sitting next to it when it went in to bsod mode.
It's an Epox 8KTA3 (KT133A) & never recovered from da blue screen that said it was shutting down windows to prevent any damage. yeah right Bill... hehe.
Anyways tested all parts individually on a bare boned box, all components work except for da mobo... tried different hard drives on it, tried pulling the battery, reset cmos with jumpers but refuses to boot, beep, or initialize... just sits. Did all the tricks i know or read about except to smack it.
* Need to fastfind a replacement*
Anyone have a socket a motherboard in a drawer, old box, or dusty shelf?
Need to utilize the parts i have and the 2 full hddrives... really don't wanna risk adding da hard drives to an exisiting box... haven't had much luck lately.
so if anyone has a socket a mobo please hook me up. Sale, barter, trade, or whatever... Or if you know of any places with good reps that has them cheap please let me know. Thanks, jiz
