callieprinari -> Cant figure out what the problem is :S :( (4/15/2005 9:20:02)

Hi,

Last year my PC (PIII,Scenic 800, Siemens-Fujitsu)crashed and I took it to some repair dpt and they said the motherboard was dead and better buy a new one (which I did). So a friend of mine needs a new PC and I thought I would exchange the motherboard and here we go. I bought the same motherboard at Ebay for 20 but the problem is still there.[:@]

At the time I switch it on, the usual beeps can not be heard and the monitor doesnt go on (light indicator stays orange. It can be heard that it finds the CD/diskette drives but thats all. Could it be that either the motherboard I bought is also dead, or the graphic card or the processor or the hard disk? [sm=ask.gif]

I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks

Callie

Sometimes the MoBo & Processor can cause that problem. Just because it says Socket 478 doesn't mean that they will match. You need to get the chipset right as well.

Another scenario is power supply. If the power supply is not providing enough juice you will not get any beeps. You will see the drives polled but then nothing. Try hitting the reset button (not the power button). If it fires up at that point buy a larger wattage power supply.

I've seen this happen a few times.

Take care,

Brian
