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?


WHERE does one get these FREE motherboards?




For computers that old, check businesses that are doing tech refreshes.
Many of them -pay- to have their computers hauled away. And many of the
computers aren't that old.
