HP probably did something really clever like put the BIOS on the harddrive instead of a chip. but anyway.... I suggest that you take the computer to pieces (every single part) and then re-assemble. it might work (somehow) Failing that get a monitor that doesn't care about what resolution or refresh rate you put into it and see if you get anything on the screen. and if that doesn't work then take it to the nearest HP dealer and strangle them with the PSU cables... :lol: |

| 334690 | 2005-03-17 09:42:00 | The power supply out of my computer has a 4pin square plug next to the cpu, which is the power for the cpu (i think) and this computer has a 3 pin inline plug next to the cpu.. So the psu's that i have seem to be incompatable.. and all the ram which i have is the wrong form factor too. I think i might just buy a new motherboard for it. I have seen some micro ATX socket 7 motherboards on ebay for about $20.. so its not that expensive. Im all outta ideas.. so.. unless you got anything else i can try, its all over for this motherboard. You havent discounted the ram or the psu, ignore the square plug on your more modern psu,thats for later model motherboards,the 3 pin plug on the old motherboard will most likely be for a fan. Again, Discount the PSU and ram being an issue before deciding to ditch the motherboard, Your gonna look silly if you jack around getting a new motherboard and it still doesn't go. Granted just based on whats written its quite likely to be the motherboard,but you still have to follow steps A and B to get to C. |

| 334691 | 2005-03-17 09:43:00 | Quickest way to "test" a psu is to plug in one that works, PSU testers are only going to pick up issues that are evident from trying to run a comp off a faulty PSU anyhow, | Metla (12) | ||
