Hey all,
One of my friends have an asus p4b266 socket 478 w/ a pentium willamette 1.6
The problem is, he tried to clean the dust out of his comp with an hairdryer (mucho static). Now the computer doesn't post at all, I can just hear the fan spin when I push the button. I think the mobo is dead because I tried to:
1. swap the PSU
2. Remove RAM- no beep, no POST
3. Remove Gfx-no beep, no POST
4. Remove CPU- no beep, no post
5. Unplug everything but the PSU- no beeps, no POST
All with CMOS resets in between
The funky thing is that HD and CDs still work, and the onboard leds light up when mobo is powered
EDIT: With all removed, I got a police-like beep, on two tones. It's like beeeepppp buuuuppppp beeeeep buuuuup
