Hi Folks,
I'm so far out of the PC Building/Troubleshooting loop its unreal (I gave up, I'm only interested in it when I'm building a new machine!).
Anyway, I've got a buddies PC to fix, it doesn't turn on at all. I've chucked his CPU into my machine, and mine still turns on - but with my CPU in his, his still won't turn on. I'm trying to turn it on with Mobo/CPU/GPU/RAM only and I get nothing.
Nothing spins up or anything, I hear a click from the PSU (which I've used to boot another machine so it can power a PC), but after that I get nothing.
Safe to say that the Motherboard is goosed?
I should add that this friend had tried to move his PC into a Mac G5 case and since then it hasn't turned on, I'm leaning towards his having shorted it on something and killing the motherboard that way (he also said he picked up the Mobo by his HSF which won't have done it any good I don't think!
What does the Hexus.Hive-Mind make of that, replacement Mobo time?
Cheers!
