939 bx gateway gt5028 no video need help + replacement options.

[killster1]

so i want to change the mobo but its damn bx and ive never owned a btx.. i Tried diff psu diff ram diff gfx etc no post or video output. Looks like replacement mobo is 200+$ on ebay (HAHA) but i have spare 939 boards just no btx.. what are my options etc?

Im thinking new case / cpu cooler (since it is prob for that mobo only) / mobo but that seems like alot to put into a old x2 939 gateway. had crap psu too so maybe that is why the mobo died (it was like 20 pin generic bestec psu in the 24pin mobo)

i have spare 939 mobo and p4 775 mobo/cpu combos im tempted to swap but this is friends moms computer and i really dont want to donate much $$ to it.

I ran into this problem with one of my Bartenders rigs. Not much you can do other than replace all the stuff you mention, and have $150+ invested in an old s939.

I'm seeing BF towers for $250. I'd go that route, and transfer her files over. Part the old rig for your troubles. It's time to move off XP anyhow.

I'll bet an x2 939 chip has value on eBay.
