SOYO mobo #sy-k7ada. XP 1+G processor.

Troubleshooting machine. Machine was at another "friends" house because vid card went out. Ordered vid card ~ MadDog multimedia Prowler MX440-SE GeForce 4 PCI.

Installed new vid card on machine still no post no video. No Splash screen, no black loading screen.

Thanks.

Not my machine, my mom's. Just talked to my brother-in-law ~built the machine~ he did two machines exactly alike, both machines same problem after warenty expired.

Looking to replace the mobo with as little headaches as possible. OH well.....

Will update late.

UPDATE

Wife bought me a soldering iron for christmas. I took good capacitors from one mobo replaced bad ones one the other. Will test tonight. Will post if I smoke it, cross your fingers.

Had to be very carefull not to let the solder run. Called that the pucker factor.

If it work I will order caps, cpu, ram, and case to fix the other board.
