I'm now thinking of trying a replacement motherboard!
I know that the Lomita is a Socket 370 so can I replace it with any Socket 370 board or do I have to look out for certain ones?
I have checked the capacitors and they are all clean (no leaks) and normal size!
I have also tested the CMOS battery, assuming that it is the round flat one that fits into the blue socket on the motherboard, and I am getting a reading!
I've tried replacing the psu with one that I know is ok and exactly the same thing happens.
There are no beeps when I turn on the machine however I can hear one very slight 'click'!
I have also tried removing one of the two fitted Ram modules, one by one, and trying it with just the one...
I have been given a non-working pc by a business contact that I was hoping to get working again for my young son.
It is an emachine DVD 150 and the previous owner said that it was working absolutely fine until a couple of weeks ago when it failed to start up.
It has a Lomita 010116 M/B...
