did I just kill my mobo?

cripy · 07-26-05, 06:24 PM

I did not run power through it yet but look, its glued on, I missed 1 step where I put something between it, I just need to know if I can leave it like this and it will work.

is getting it unglued an option?

if not did it cover any metal parts on the back of the board?

Just leave bare metal on the back of your MB. You may not have put power on it yet but the second you do it is all over.

cripy · 07-26-05, 06:36 PM

its not metal on the board there is a sponge thing between that metal bracket and the mobo

Is ANY metal from the bracket touching ANY metal on the motherboard? Check and be sure. You might have to soak the motherboard in a bath of alcohol and let the adhesive break apart and then dry the motherboard for a week or two.

im turning it on now, there is no metal touching the motherboard.

Bios24 · 07-26-05, 07:05 PM

Oh whew!!!

I just checked back to this thread. Yes you should be just fine. But then again you know that already don't you.

Make sure you post some temps as well.
