Thank you to all the volunteers, whether you're able to offer help or not!
Full disclosure: I was running AVG PC tuneup (
http://www.avg.com/us-en/avg-pctuneup) last night when I went to bed.
When I awoke this morning my PC was dead. When I turn on the power I get no beeps. No signal is sent to the monitor. The monitor is working. Everything is plugged in properly. I unplugged all external devices, same result. I removed all RAM. Still no beeps. I put the RAM back in, nothing.
All fans are running, optical drive still opens and the lights on the RAM still blink - so I assume the power supply is good. Is that a fair assumption?
The computer is about five years old. It's an Acer Aspire X1470. The MB inside is a DAA75L - aParker 48.3FU01.011.
I can find the same MB on Amazon, but would have to wait for arrival. Ideally I'd like to purchase locally from
http://www.ncix.com/category/motherboards-64-107.htm , but I am unfamiliar with what specs to look at to be sure I get the same size, etc. MB. I rarely use the PC these days so a cheap MB is all I need. I only use the PC for word processing and internet - no gaming/video/etc.
If I'm missing a potential solution/fix, please share! Otherwise a MB recommendation would be awesome.
Thank you again!
