Default dead motherboards...

You will find that the economics of repairing old mother boards does not
make sense. The devices are all surface mounted, and the troubleshooting
and servicing requires extensive knowledge, sophisticated tools and
sophisticated equipment. Then there will be the problem if finding the
replacement parts.

You are best off to look around for older computers and rebuild them.
But, having older computers will be limited in their capability,
especially with the newer operating systems and software's. This is why
they are going to the landfills in the first place!

I think you should seriously look for something that is more profitable.
If fixing old computers was profitable, there would be many more
companies doing it!

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? 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
