Hello everybody!
I am having a problem with my friend's PC. The computer wont turn on at all! I tried unplugging everything from the motherboard and putting it back, and nothing happened. Tried just with mobo, cpu and ram, but nothing happened. Oh I must mention that the original problem was that his monitor had no signal,or he couldnt see anyhing, but the computer turned on at first, but he opened up the computer and just unscrewed the mobo and screwed it back together, after that, it woulndt turn on. Thats when I came in! He took it to my house(since I'm a PC repair student) and I did all the stated above. I know the PSU is working fine. I'm guessing the motherboard is fried, since he did not use any protecttion when unscrewing the mobo. I think the problem was a static shock. I want to hear some other opinions before buying the motherboard. The mobo that I want is one just like the one the pc came with, I think I will have less problems if I do that. I also have another quiestion, will I have to reinstall windows after installing the new mobo?
