Computers Kb ps2 port died 3 months ago, since then, random lockups have occoured. I got the system and tried to boot using USB kb. It now seeems that the usb ports have gone too, The kbs lights light up, but it doesn't respond to the delete on bios. the OS was f***ed up by the owner so basicly im working in dos to try and troubleshoot cus you cant do much in wondows without a kb.

What im thinking is that the southbridge has died, which is concourent with the ps2 dieing, then the usb;s dieing. There is power to the usb ports, it just doesn't seem that the datd is getting thru. Anyone got any ideas?

sounds pretty dead man.. get a new one.

Take it to some that can fix it. thats why they are there for!

thrax - It might end up costing more to get it repaired.

same things happened to me about 2 months ago on an abit kt7 (that's a kt133 based board)..

replaced two popped capacitors that were leaking but the board is just dead now..

never fixed the problem with the ps2 ports burning out.. usb keyboard worked for a while

it is dead, get a new motherboard.

i was having similiar prolbems with the family asus a7v133. get a NOI mobo

i win!

mk cheers yall

I need a cheap replacement with onboard video, how does the Jetway 830-CF Mainboard - Audio, Video & Lan, AMD. 200/266 FSB, SDram, AGP
for 135 from the dickshop sound?

dude you do know that board has a 3 year manufacturers warranty don't you?

are you going to chase up with the origional place of purchase, or at least take it to a Asus wholesaler/reseller to have them RA it for you?

or are the clients in so much or a rush that they'd prefer to spent money unneccesarily? it only costs 50-odd bucks to get it RA'd thru a 3rd party.

Hmm. They just will buy a new one. And ill RA it myself, i need some spare parts :P but thanks for the tip mate, i didn't think of that :)

well if they screw it up they are liable to replace it and not you.
