is my motherboard dead?

[B-Rock Odrama]

while my computer still comes on after 30 seconds or so it hasn't booted up in months since it totally froze a few months ago..I think constantly turning off my pc the wrong way over the years and one repeated session of quickly turning it off/on in hopes of fixing it may have burned out my motherboard...I took my computer to some shady looking cac bootleg computer technician/ cause he held on to my shyt too long without informing me on the progress..when i got it back i was told the motherbord was dead and I should just buy a new computer...I don't trust this wood though so I took it to Office Depot and another racist cac without even doing any work on my computer suggested I buy some part and after I gave him the look suggested the motherboard was dead too....right now some brother from my hood whom supposedly is a bootleg computer technician is looking at my computer but i'm afraid if he says he can't fix it my motherboard may be broken and I will have to purchase a new pc

that's exactly what I suspect though it's doing basically the same thing it was prior to that roguish troglodyte touched it




i'm going to wait till the dude whom currently working on it right now gives me a 2nd opinion before deciding what to do next

If it won't boot or only boots for about 30 seconds the motherboard is prolly fried. It's happened to me 3 times. The backlight might come on but your sh1t is over with. Get a new one.

What brand do you have? Last time my laptop bricked I got a Toshiba and it's been solid for 3 years.

damn..i thought if the light still coming and I can hear he engine running on there was hope that the motherboard could be repaired if what you saying is true I guess that's unlikely..i got a Compaq Presario Desktop and it doesn't boot up...the light in the back comes on but it doesn't load to my modem at all

i'm thinking of getting a laptop next cause they seem cheaper but I prefer desktop cause that's what i'm more accustom to

It's your decision but the transition from desktop to laptop isn't difficult, you'll just have to get used to using a touchpad. It's not like you gotta use a fukkin dot in the middle of the keyboard anymore, and if it still bothers you, get a USB mouse. You can spend $450 and get a decent laptop. Even with an extended warranty you would still spend less than what a desktop would cost you.

Motherboard does sound dead. How did you turn it off the wrong way? By pressing the turn off button?

Laptops aren't cheaper and PC's tend to have a longer life than laptops.

yeah I am familiar somewhat with laptops due to borrowing one from my school library back in college...I'm more comfortable with the desktop/mouse but the USB mouse thing sounds like something I would be interested in if I decide to go that route...guess i'm old school..

while looking at laptops in the sales paper the other day I read something( in the small print ) about batteries that only last a few hours ...the statement alone makes me at the thought of coppin one...i'm already just thinking about my laptop shutting down in the middle of me doing whatever and having to wait for the shyt to recharge

I aint trying to spend $500 breh....I might as well get an all in one or a new desktop for that....nah the laptops I've seen(at Office Depot and Wallyworld) are cheaper or about the same as the desktop. I might have to settle for a laptop for now though cause it's only what I can really afford right now

it looks like itfor the vast majority of the time(7 plus years) I would unplug the computer cord from the socket but started shutting down through the start up option when a cac internet installation dude told me that's how he usually turnoff his pc..but it really started fukking up/acting crazy/ a few months ago after I repeatedly clicked the on/off option on the outlet(my pc was connected to) within a relatively short period of time and gradually regressed since hen.

i'm just going off what I've seen personally..the laptops(at Office Depot which is the only place I've been in that still sales tower desktops) are cheaper. This new all in one(tower less desktop/laptop hybrid ) thing seems right in the middle as far as price range between laptops and desktops...

like I said i'm most likely going to get a laptop to hold me down until I can afford an all in one/desktop...
