I am a computer repair tech. What is this a guide for? There is nothing on repair and only remedial troubleshooting. Come on, man.

If your computer does not power on it could be a number of things. Most of the time ‘motherboard’ issues are from component failure. Often, the component can be replaced or even bypassed to restore functionality.

Your list of tell-tale’s list only indicate a problem, not necessarily motherboard failure. Desktop computers rarely suffer motherboard failure. Laptops fail because of overheating.

You can avoid most laptop failures with a good cooling station. I usually make my own or repair the ones I find in the trash. Fans from old desktops are great for this.

Mobo failures:
1) water damage
2) overheating
3) short circuit
4) wrong voltage
etc.

symptoms:

1) won’t boot, some laptops can show diagnostic lights or sounds
2) cpu runs really slow
3) blue screen randomly

How to fix?

1) I’ve heard people clean and dry water damaged motherboard with success
2) Replacing mobo is not very complicated as least for DELL
3) Sell it to someone who knows how to fix, buy a new laptop

I’m using Hp 650 laptop. after installing re-windows 7 it just powers off and on repeatedly. before that that it was perfectly fine. ive tried applying thermal paste on the processor, resetting the bios and disassembling the laptop but nothing is helpful. please advice.

In reply to Friend. These guidance are totally wasted we here for seeking solution not for knowing the things we already know..
