Windows XP Hardware >> mainboard query Hi,
My PC has died on me, and I only bought it a few months ago. I was getting
long single beeps and tried to test the RAM , but I think I've compounded
the problem now. I bent a capacitor with too much force and also the battery
doesn't fit back into place securely anymore. Now the fan and drives fire up
but no video. (FIC P4M-800T motherboard)

My question, if I want a good quality motherboard to replace my old and
possibly rebuild this thing from its partsh . What should I be looking for?
I have a P4 chip with HT and I plan to use my ATI graphics card . I will
probably need to replace my memory too with
Or is there a possibility that my motherboard can still be fixed and how?

Windows XP Hardware >> mainboard query Since the damage was user inflicted waranty won't cover it, but you
could ask vendor about repair cost. Or you could buy another one, same
model, or do a little research on motherboards. www.google.com

Windows XP Hardware >> mainboard query Can't tell whether your mobo can be fixed, but if you replace it and do not
want to replace your CPU and memory as well, then look for a board that will
work with your current CPU and memory.
