The motherboard is starting up!
The motherboard is starting up!
i connected a used silver-stone psu to my system and immediately noticed issues. the keyboard sparked, the motherboard didn’t power on, and there was no odor. i checked several repair shops but none could diagnose or fix the problem. they suggested buying new parts. i watched a youtube video that pointed out overheating chips in the gpu slots as a possible cause. it seems my psu might be faulty, and i’m unsure if it’s worth trying further repairs.
Unless you possess the abilities, equipment, and perseverance to rework and solder a fresh chip, along with compatible capacitors and resistors, then it's beyond reach.
I looked it up online—there’s a chip causing the audio boost. Would removing it make it work fine? I don’t have a multimeter, and the board is quite old.
I’d check on several sites, not just this one. The last time I got a spark was from air temperature plus static on my hand while touching the side of a case (motherboard side). That spread the static discharge throughout the case instead of affecting my board. If you saw a spark on your keyboard, it suggests the voltage passed straight through your motherboard and caused damage.
Absolutely, I didn't detect any signs of spark or smoke on your motherboard.
I understand this may come across as common, but since you're near the bottom, consider recording a video on your phone to clearly outline the problems. I'm sure you'll need to learn this the tough way.
