hi guys,
good day to all.
Everytime I try to turn on the computer,
it won't boot up no matter what.
all I hear is just CD-rom running, nothing shows on the screen.
I went to the tech and told me mainboard is gone.
so I just wanted to get few things verified by you guys about what he said
1.he said since it is pentium 4 , that I would have to buy used one to replace it.
and I cannot get just brand new one to replace because some parts do not match, so I have to get
the same one as what I had.
2.he also told me if I get the used board to fix my computer, i won't be able to
get my stuff in hard drive back,only pictures and documents are to be restored, because chipset will be changed.
are these true??
so no matter what, the only options i have are
1.get used board, but won't be able to get your stuff back
2.buy new computer, and won't be able to get your stuff back.
really? this sux...can you guys advise me please
