Infocalypse Nowfeel like an idiot too, because I bought a new graphics card to replace the old one and at the moment it's just a very expensive paperweight.
Canvases By Peter 🇵🇸@trif Might be worthwhile looking for a secondhand motherboard of the same model on ebay or somewhere to replace it with, at least then you can use all the same other hardware..
A couple things to check that could cause this;
- make sure nothing is in any of the USB ports shorting them or having damaged the port (yes, I've seen this cause non-boot on an IBM notebook, bending the pin back into place solved the issue).
- make sure the PSU hasn't gone bad dropping power on a rail or has fried something.
@CanvasesByPeter good suggestion
@trif updated just now 👍
