Re: [computer-tech-support: 7868] Re: motherboard replacement

The pins got broken because they were put under pressure. I do work on my
computer myself. I'm not paying $45 just for someone to look at my computer.
It wasn't something that was intentional or because I don't know what I'm
doing or something, it just I've had to do lots of work inside the box and
over time they got worn. I bought this computer at a yard sale for $25 and
I've done all the work on it to make it a good computer. I will definitely
be shopping around though. My current pc has ME on it and a very small
amount of Ram so I'm anxious to get mine up and running again cause I can
only do the basics and limited at that. 126mb is not what I call a large
amount of ram compared to 1gb which I installed myself on my usual pc.

If you were able to break the pins, I dont think it is a good idea to
replace the motherboard yourself...because you know you may break the
new one...so I would recommend a specialist to do the job, although it
is not hard, ......
if it happens you insist to replace it yourself, try marking cables,
so you dont mis-attach anything in the wrong place....
Check to see if you can get a same or arround price for a better
motherboard, it would be better, the big issues are the CPU, RAM, and
PCI cards(HDDs, monitor, and case are compatible with almost
everything)...if all are supported and the price is almost the same,
get something better.
