Only way you can find out if any of the other components are in working order is to test them on another compatible system(s). | |

In my experience the motheboard will either have blown other stuff or something will have blown to cause the board to go. | |

Would cost about £40 to get another motherboard in there, could upgrade the ram as well for abit more whilst your at it.. nothing wrong with that machine if its just a basic computer and did you well before.. | |

quote: Not thought of that. The number on it is SF2/661FX but there aint any on ebay at the moment. Might keep an eye out for a week or to and see if one turns up. Im guessing if its the same motherboard i wont need to messs about getting XP to run properly as it will have all the right drivers already? | |

if there is a model number on the motherboard, why not hae a look on ebay and see if any are going, then if its cheap sell the pc once you have fixed it? | |

If your monitor is this one then watch this - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160070055359 | |

Monitor is perhaps 70 quid, other bits won't make much. You might be better selling complete as a not working system. Also less problematic than if you break for bits and sell the part that was causing the failure. | |
