I'm wondering if there's some way to recycle my dead motherboard somewhere. Well it's not dead. The keyboard port doesn't work too well.

Yea but it's not turned on by default so it's difficult to get into the BIOS to turn it on.

Thanks for the input, everyone.

I sold two dead A7V mobos on Ebay, letting the bidders know that they were dead and were offered as is, and that the bidder had better expect to do some repair work on them. They didnt sell for much, maybe 5 dollars, but it's still money and it got them out of my room.

Save it in case I ever need resistors or Caps and to practice soldering skills for things like modding xboxs.

was there ever a part actually called the fatherboard?
I'm not sure, but there is such a thing as a daughterboard.
I once put together this PC for a black man who requested the use of a Brothahboard. *rim shot* :p
