Motherboard Swap, HELP!! :(

[NixxxE]

When you start it, do you hear any beeps in the system speaker ( if you got it connected: some MBs have it on board, some you have to provide external one). If not please double check the secondary power supply connector to be plugged int ( the 4 pin power connector).

Good luck!

Nope dont hear no beeps, im not sure there is an on board speaker.

and the 4 pin plug is plugged in, I need pro help I think either that or a good hammer

it's a process of elimination, if every other component works with your old dell, then the mobo is faulty, I'd take it back and ask for a refund/replacement.

My guess is that there's a loose diode or something. Unfortunately the only way to sort this out is to solder every single joint (unless it's obvious by looking which one it is) which would take hours.

My dad has took it to his work to and IT guru to see if he can sort it.

Hope he can sort it
