Guest Wolfeymole Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 There should be a heatsink on the cpu and on the heatsink is the fan, like the one below, does it turn? http://amkdesign.co.uk/project/lapping/akasa.jpg Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Well all I can suggest now Bobby is that once you have made sure the VGA connectors on both the PC and monitor end are secure then it's the board but like I say call back and other members will have a comment to make on this issue.

bobbyjimmy Posted February 19, 2008 Author Posted February 19, 2008 Thanks very much for your help. Is the motherboard easily replaceable? Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 It should be yes, what is the make and model of your pc? Quote
bobbyjimmy Posted February 19, 2008 Author Posted February 19, 2008 It's a Hewlett Packard, Celeron processor and I believe the model number is HPCOMPAQD230MT. Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 If you give me a short while to research this I will get back to you. Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 I think this is your pc here yes? http://www.ciao.co.uk/HP_Compaq_Business_Desktop_D230__5810490#productdetail Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Because the tower is a micro you would need a smaller board like those listed here. http://www.ciao.co.uk/Motherboards_5226490_3-micro_atx I would have to leave it to the others members to say which are outstanding and which are middle of the road.

bobbyjimmy Posted February 19, 2008 Author Posted February 19, 2008 how would i know which one? Quote
maynardvdm Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 All of them should work coz they are all micro ATX. As long as the form factor is the same. So ATX case goes with ATX motherboard, Micro ATX case goes with Micro ATX motherboard. Quote We are all members helping other members. Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.

bobbyjimmy Posted February 20, 2008 Author Posted February 20, 2008 PC is a HP Compaq d230 mt, I found a manual about the motherboard here: http://www.fujitsu-siemens.co.uk/rl/servicesupport/techsupport/Boards/Motherboards/Liteon/NR138/044402790-scenic_edition_x101.pdf Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 The PDF tells us nothing except the specs of the board etc Bobby and I have looked online but have been unable to find a micro atx board from lite on. Again I have to say I would either wait for members to suggest an option for a new board or contact lite on directly. Quote
bobbyjimmy Posted February 20, 2008 Author Posted February 20, 2008 Anyone got any ideas on what board I could buy to replace my current one? Quote
