Need help picking new motherboard

[Chris McClean]

Hi all, I have a fujitsu scaelo p desktop with an asus p5ld2-fm/dhs motherboard, 512MB Samsung pc2-3200U ram, NVIDIA GeForce 6500 graphics card and an INTEL 05 PENTIUM D processor..... i was upgrading the ram then i got a small shock from the motherboard. I'm pretty sure i've blew the motherboard in it. Can someone please send me a link where i can buy a replacment mobo for this...... Hope i haven't blew the processor too.

 

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to ExTS

 

I'm pretty sure i've blew the motherboard

I assume that the system does not boot up?

 

Before you buy a new m/b why not check it out ( as best we can ) first?

 

Do you get any POST beeps when you try to boot up?

( assuming that you got one beep before )

 

Does the keyboard light up and are there any LEDs lit on the m/b ?

 

=================

 

If you are NOT getting POST beeps ( and you did before ) ......

 

Switch off at the wall - leave the plug in to maintain the earth ( ground ) connection.

 

Then I would strip everything off the m/b ( RAM / Video Card etc ). Disconnect all external devices.

Disconnect the power to the hard drive and DVD Drive.

Disconnect the drives' data cable at the m/b end.

 

Leave only the 20(4) way connection from the PSU

 

Switch on.

You should get POST beeps if you have an internal speaker.

 

If you don't then it is a problem with the PSU or m/board.

 

==================

 

If you DO need to replace the m/b then you will invariably need to re-install the OS on your hard drive.

(unless you have XP then you can do a repair install)

 

You may want to get at the data on the hard drive to re-claim it.

This is easily done.
