Well, guys. I reckon the mobo's toasted. It won't do anything now, except beep when I turn the power on.
Anyone have any good ideas where I can get an SS10 mobo from cheap?

I've had a look at Ebay & there are a few items and www.memoryx.com. They're quoting US$ 95 for a mobo which seems OK.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks
