HX1 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Have you had it off for more than five minutes? at any point.. and have you tried pulling out the power cable.. waiting till the light goes off.. then switching the little switch in the back over and then back... This would work on some of the older machines.. Like a reset or something..Mine would boot the floppy first.. regardless.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjoa Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Its strange. You hear a beep then the sound from floppy normally, but not now. I can't hear any beep. HDD works. Fans works. Everything works but not mobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 check the floppy thing out.. and make sure you haven't plugged in the wrong power or cables? during the check-up? EDIT: I had one once that would not boot if the floppy wasn't there.. because I tried to remove it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjoa Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Floppy is OK. Power cable is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted October 1, 2010 Administrator Share Posted October 1, 2010 I think you should check out the motherboard repair guy near you if you are 100% sure that it's the mobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjoa Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 If it is not mobo what could it be? Even without processor does not do any beep sound. And repair guy does not want to check it. :shit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjoa Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 This is just strange. I've put mobo on a table with only power supply and it started automatically but no beeps came from speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Is there a way to see if the speaker is even working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjoa Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Speaker is OK. I'm going to buy a new mobo. Here in Argentina, you can buy one for less than 100 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted October 2, 2010 Administrator Share Posted October 2, 2010 Odd mobo repair guy. In Mumbai suburbs (where I live), there's only one guy that repairs mobos. When I had a problem, he repaired it in mins. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjoa Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 I'll send it to you DK. So you can take it to that guy :lmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted October 2, 2010 Administrator Share Posted October 2, 2010 Sure, cause I wouldn't advice to change the MOBO just because one or two parts are not working properly. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjoa Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 But it would be so expensive to me send it, and how can I send it to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted October 2, 2010 Administrator Share Posted October 2, 2010 That will cost you a new MOBO I guess. Cause you have to pay 150% of the prize of your current MOBO in tax. :mellow:Honestly though, you should find another repair guy. Unless you've had many other problems in this MOBO, I wouldn't just trash it or accept it as dead unless and until someone else sees it and confirms it. We are like nurses or part time self medication people, but only the doctor has the right to declare the patient dead. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R0H1T Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 What's your BIOS make (AMI/AWARD/PHOENIX/Other) ? If you can log into Win7 normally then download the latest BIOS file from ASROCK's site & use the app(exe) provided to flash the BIOS from Windows OR I'll give you the link for that app(if you can tell me about the BIOS manufacturer) alternatively use a previous version of BIOS cause this recent one might be buggy(if its the current version that's giving you problems) !

Captain Caveman Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Take a look at the caps on the motherboard.. any bulging on the top of them?Plus you mention that the machine turned on automaticly when you had just the PS and motherboard on your table.. I still think it could be your powersupply.. is the older PS you tried flawless? .. whens the last time you used that thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjoa Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 If you're really unable to run the Windows Se7en DVD for repair (with your motherboard connected,) I'm afraid you may have to perform a BIOS recovery.How can I do that?What's your BIOS make (AMI/AWARD/PHOENIX/Other) ?

I'M NOT ABLE TO START MOBO.Take a look at the caps on the motherboard.. any bulging on the top of them?Plus you mention that the machine turned on automaticly when you had just the PS and motherboard on your table.. I still think it could be your powersupply.. is the older PS you tried flawless? .. whens the last time you used that thing?There's not any bulging. I'm using old power supply (400 Watt). I did change it because it was "small" about power requirements for me. ('Twas giving me USB problems). I should try with the new one (it's 500 Watt).

sanjoa Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 I'm thinking in buying an ASROCK N-68 UCC or a GIGABYTE GA-M68M-S2P mobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0H1T Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I'm thinking in buying an ASROCK N-68 UCC or a GIGABYTE GA-M68M-S2P mobo.Well if you can't boot through your HDD or any other removeable medium then the only option you have is to replace/repair your mobo. I think you should go for that dual BIOS one (probably from Gigabyte) ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjoa Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 I can't see something bad on mobo. Only when I start it with the new power supply it automatically turns off a few moments later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
