Yes I said it right... I did something (Not thinking.. DUH!) that I knew in the back of my head something was shouting... "DUMBASS!!!!!"
I have an old foxconn mobo that has a P4 2.4 intel cpu on it... Well my dumb ass decided "Gee... let's put that 1.7 on it and use it for the kids computer!" now to be even more brain dead... I didn't check out to see if the cpu was compatible with the mobo...
Guess not...
So now what I was going to do is use a compatable cpu (a 2.4 celeron)
but now to no avail... won't even start up now... I tried the whole reseting the bios, removing the battery, even removed everythig form the case and re-seated it all... Nothing. Question is now... (tada...)
Can this thing be salvaged or is it dead? I haven't heard anything from foxconn yet about it, so I'm still waiting there, but I figured I'l ask the real people who know these things. I even tried to do a boot floppy, but it won't even light up, much less boot from it. Thanks for helping and I hope I could at least give you good laugh...
