fried mobo

[Juice1]

is there a way to fix a mobo that has a fried bridge chip?

im pretty sure my mobo is fried. i cant do anything with the hardware thats cnnected to the mobo.

theres a small white burn hole in the chip (the southbridge? its black not silver)

its an asus p4p800s (not the E one)

the chip next to the sata connectors and the cmos battery seems to have a burn in it. is it fixable?

Not that I'm aware of.

really sorry to tell you this but it would be best to buy a new one. I had a mobo fri on me and It was unrepairable, I spent quite a bit of money on it, possibly of you replace the CMOS battery and try and re connect the burnt circuits it my work.

is there a way asus can replace it? its quite old btw.

If there's some sort of life time warranty, otherwise, no, you'll have to buy another board.
