Old pc help..... working?
Hi guys, digged out a 400mhz celeron for my mum to use, it turned on fine, loaded into os and crashed, because the cpu fan was shot ( was kinda loud :p ) so replaced that nps, booted it up, and i got no picture.... DOH i thought, was all to easy.
Anyways, it all seems to be working- as in can here the post beep and the HDD spins up and flashes around etc, but no picture, monitor wont come outta standby, been playing around with it for ~30mins and nothing. the mobo doesnt have an onboard thing, its using a AGP port with an S3 gfx card, my voodoo3 wont fit, i tried, so i guess my other cards wont as they are all more modern than the voodoo3.
Any one got any ideas? Im pretty sure the cpu is alive incase any one thought i killed it, it still heats up the heatsink anyway - i did have to epoxy the heatsink back though, as the fan had clips going around it etc - so to put a new fan on meant i had to lose the clips.
Anyway, any help? or ideas?
Thanks all
