- Posted by ArseNa! on May 13th, 2008
Hi, my computer wouldnt start up, so i opened it to have a look, the took out
all the drives (optical, Hdd), the ram, any sound / video cards, and then
removed the fan on thr board, i took some pictures, and theres apprears to be
a part of the board that burnt:

There also seems to be some yellowing on some of the chips, ive circled
these in red.
So, does this mean my motherboards bust premanently ot can i fix it
Ive got a Packard Bell iMedia 1804

Would this not be a hardware question? Totally unrelated to Windows?

I probably overheated due to all the dust accumulation by the looks of it...

yeh, that is a nasty
burn.
looks like your mobo
shorted.
time to replace it.
fortunately, your
harddisk is intact
which is the most
important thing here.
keep in mind that
in the event you replace
the mobo, you may have
to reinstall windows to
configure the operating
system on the disk to you
new hardware.
however, if you buy a
computer with brand
new up to date components
and with windows preinstalled,
then you can hook up your old
harddisk as a slave to it.

Is it burned or discolored?
