Answer» Quote from: Max Maximus on August 10, 2011, 04:55:56 AM Your right. Pretty cheap right now.

It sounds like I should give up, but before that I may as well mess with the bios whatever the heck that means. Mental, can you give me the steps required to accomplish this? And yes, CC and I have tried everything else. If you read back through this thread you'll see all the spec for the pc, including diagrams that CC posted for me, as well as I believe the replacement model for the MB. I did some searching for these after he posted, and I have a micro center pretty close that has everything you could ever want to repair, I'm just not sure of all the steps. I may do some searching on YouTube to see if I can find some visual examples of how it is done.
