MS-7093 Ver:1.0

[crsgr]

Hello

I've recently acquired one of these boards in non-working condition and have no history about it. On power-up, I do get a splash screen (the emachines logo), but that's it. There are no beeps, the fans run at normal speed, F2 & F10 on a PS/2 keyboard have no effect. There is no visible evidence of capacitor issues. I've reseated the processor (Athlon 64 3200+), tried 2 PSU's, and changed the RAM. Without any RAM in it, there are still no beeps, and the video is gone too.

I don't have another compatible CPU to try, so I'm wondering if anyone here could tell me if this sounds like a a burned CPU or not. Any additional input would also be welcome.

Thanks!

What kind of power supply are you using? - read model number off the label.

Some mother boards from emachines which had Bestec ATX-250 12E power supply were permanently damaged.

Re: MS-7093 Ver:1.0

are there any caps next to the CPU that are brown and have KZG written on them? like this:

They might be the problem, KZG's don't always bloat when they die due to poor seals. I went onto google images and saw two versions of this board, one with KZG's and one with KZE's. If they're KZE's they should be fine, but if they're KZG's that might be the problem

I don't know what PSU it had before. Mine are Inwin and Acbel.

There are Green 25V 820u KZE, Brown 6.3V 1800u and 16V 1000u KZG about, but right next to the CPU are Blue 6.3V 1500u MBZ. All 105C.

They are probably both KZE. Older KZEs had Green sleeves, but newer ones have brown sleeves like KZG

those might be KZG's next to the northbridge
