Hello to everyone! I haven't participated in the discussions too much. I
am fairly new to hardware and computer building/repair. I am putting
together a inexpensive computer for practice and experience, and also to
help prepare for the A+ exam.
The motherboard is a FIC 503+ with K6-2 400 MHz, 64 MB PC100. Everything
booted and worked well enough, and I was at the point of learning to
install NT4, reformatting and all that good stuff. That is beside the
point, though. The real problem: I bought a new power supply (250W) from
CompUSA and now the computer won't even POST. No beeps, no nothing. I
guess I wiped out the BIOS in installing the new power supply. If this is
so, what can I really do, aside from chucking the motherboard?
I am more interested in learning than actually having a working computer.
(I can easily buy a computer or go to a repair shop) Insights, logical
approaches and perspectives would be really welcome. Thanks!
