Duke Atreides Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 OK, I was given this to hopefully fix by a friend. He told me he was taking the heatsink off to replace with a better one and his hand slipped and went bang into the plastic sheild surrounding the socket. After that the MOBO won't post. Power goes to the thing, the indicator LED lights up and the fans spin up but the thing will not post and the monitor shows "No Signal" I have tried resetting the CMOS, have looked with a magnifying glass around the socket and see no damage and have it currently out of a case and hooked up to a power supply with a proc installed, keyboard, ram and a vid card... nothing. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYoKoNA Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 I am assuming he is not telling you the whole story. LoL Have you tried different ram slots? Only other suggestion would be to boot without the ram. Some mobo's beep, thus letting u know that the mobo is still functioning.

Duke Atreides Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Actually the beep is all I am after at this point, No beep, with the ram in or out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYoKoNA Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Dead board, or CPU. One or the other. I hate when it happens too because if you don't have a spare, its a pain in the arse.... See if the CPU will work on another board u have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Atreides Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 (edited) Nevermind, I gave it back to the guy and he spiked it into the driveway of his house. Jeez what a baby. I grabbed the proc and the chipset cooler before left. Edited October 21, 2004 by Duke Atreides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
