Ching chong thanks
I dunno where else to turn with this...
I killed that exact same machine putting a 1070 and bigger PSU in it.
The motherboard died but everything else was fine.
What gpu? I never seen exactly what would happen if you did that. I would imagine an idle gpu wouldnt use much power.
-remove the mobo from the case
-test it with only psu, ram, cpu, connected
If this failes it could be the ram, do you have a replacement?
>No beeps or fan.
If you manually bridge the power switch connectors and still get nothing, one other thing you should check in this case is bent CPU pins. I bought a dead motherboard off ebay this week for practically nothing. It was just a bent pin. I love buying shit off morons.
If you try to post with no RAM you would get one long beep. That at least would show it was indeed the RAM causing the problem and the motherboard is working, but I doubt it's the memory.
buy a mac
looks like it's become a NPCcentre now
Not a bad fucking idea. That way if he tries to repair it himself, they'll she him it's a perfect way to keep him from fucking it up further. Then he can take it to the genius bar and they'll charge him retail price for the repair! This way he'll know he's getting quality repair and the insane repair cost will teach him to be more careful in the future and let daddy Apple install hardware for him like the toddler he is.
The absolute state of Apple cucks. Jesus... I weep for this world.
