Howdy all.
I am trying to fix a desktop for a friend. It's a 3 year old HP a1310n and it was hit with a power surge during a lightning storm. He said it wasn't plugged into a power bar, just a wall outlet. He's an idiot, I know. It turns on, but the CPU fan kicks into high gear right away and there is no video. No beeps, no nothing. I bought a good used power supply off of ebay, tested it in my pc, put it in his and that had no affect. I ordered a good used stock mobo off of E-bay and put it in tonight. Turned the computer on and still nada. The fans kick into high gear, and I have no video. I thought maybe it was the hard drive, so I took out the HD from my desktop and hooked it up to the other PC and no luck. I'm kind of out of ideas now. Could the processor be fried? Memory sticks chooched, maybe? I have no idea. Any thoughts?
Thanks for any replies.
