hi people..

im interested in repairing computers motherboards.. mostly the older
ones ( based around socket 370, socket A and lower) and have some
questions... when there is a motherboard fried from a power surge, is
it worth trying repairing?

Never. There are zillions of these out there you can get for free, so
why try to fix one?

what components usually die in such
situations? how to check all those SMD componentes and small ICs on
easiest way to find out if they work or no?

well, any info about such problems is needed... thanks in advance

bye
