[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1621131, member: 56379"] Look at it this way…you have around 4 options to move forward with this DIY repair project: 1. Replace the logic board (way way too expensive). 2. Replace the power supply (sort of expensive but maybe doable). 3. Do nothing (and the computer remains as it is). 4. Throw the computer in the trash. When doing DIY repairs we don't always have "perfect information". At some point if it makes financial sense…you gotta start swapping parts & see what happens.:) - Nick p.s. If someone knew enough about power supplies…I guess the PS could be repaired (if someone knew enough about PS's…and where to get parts)…and if the PS is the problem. [/QUOTE]
