Hey all,
I'm trying to fix my boss' HP Pavilion m8000 media center PC.
The problem is that it won't POST at all. At this point I'm thinking
either I have a faulty mobo or CPU because I'm running out of
troubleshooting options. Here's what I've tried:
-Made sure PSU is working (tested each lead with multimeter)
-Tried a different working PSU in the system
-Reset CMOS memory
-Replaced power switch
-Verified all components are secure/all connections are proper
I don't believe that there are LED's on the mobo (Asus IPIBL LB a.k.a Benecia gl8e)
but there is a system speaker which hasn't made any noise.
Is it most likely that I have a faulty motherboard or processor?
any replies/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I was thinking of trying breadboarding but since my system speaker isn't
making a sound at all I doubt that it's something other than the cpu/mobo
Cheers
