Request For An Old Computer Motherboard

[a20089]

Guys, hopefully someone can help me out.

2 days after buying a new PC and given my handme down to the GF, what happens but the MB blows a cap. I can't afford another new computer so I'm hoping someone else has and old MB that can help me out.

The MB needs to have AGP and be able to run an Intel Prescott 2.8E. It's about 4-5 years old.

If you want to dump a whole PC on me and let me figure what/if it works I'm open to that. No CRT monitor needed thanks.

Thanks in anticipation.

If its just the capacitors that have leaked. pull them out and solder some new ones in there.

Thats the trick, is it just the capacitor? and I can't solder for shit.

You have a PM. let me know if any / how many of the capacitors have NON flat tops (bulged out or leaking). If none of them have done that then it is unlikely to fix the issue.

Just goto one of the weekly computer fairs and look for an old motherboard for like $50 or something.

Or go to one of my potential new sponsors - DOLA http://www.dola.com.au/onlineauction/aucti...InCat.asp?ID=26 and buy a whole computer for next to nothing (ex govies)

I hate motherboards. Mine went nuclear and I'm still waiting for a replacement.

I do have an older mobo here in a case and it's AGP but I can't remember the specs on it. Will have a look after work.

That would be great. I centainly don't want to pay $50 for another older motherboard that may die soonish and all for a computer not worth $100.

I have an old board that should be suitable, its about 3 years old, its been collecting dust but should be fine once gone over with an air duster.

It has AGP and fits a Prescott.

MSI 7071-020 (PM8M2-V)

Hi NissanFan,

I received your board unfortunatly it is a Socket 775 board and does not fit my Prescott which is a Sockett 478

Still I'll try and pass it on to someone that needs it. PM me your bank account details and I'll forward you the postage.

Anyone else with a spare MB with a Sockett 478?

My bad, I thought all Prescott were 775, don't worry about postage man.
