How to Test
- Grab a Motherboard, check for visual defects (blown caps, mutilated components)
- Secure MoBo to plate, ensuring the risers are not grounding out the board.
- Test battery,
- Add a tested processor and a fan for that MoBo
- Add tested memory
- Attempt to post
- Connect the minimal things needed to post (power, keyboard, video, etc).
- If it does not post replace the processor (do an internet search with the socket number to find the range the range of compatible processors).
- Power down, then attach:
- Imaged hard drive to IDE1 (Primary)
- CD Drive to IDE2 (Secondary
- Floppy Drive to FD controller
- Peripherals (mouse, keyboard, Video)
- Boot into BIOS
- Set the clock and date.
- Change the boot order to be CD Rom first , Hard Drive second, Floppy disconnect.
- Boot to Memtest, Let it run for a minute. Test all memory slots. (The memtest program is a boot option on the hard drive)
- Boot up to Operating System
- Check that the mouse and keyboard work.
- If you have on board video check that it works.
- Test all the USB ports with a mouse.
- If you have on board sound play a audio cd, if not then open a terminal and run basiccheck -m
- Open terminal and run stress-test.
- Test all card slots by plugging in a video card, turn on computer, if you get a screen turn off computer and repeat with all slots.
- Some cases might call for testing
- SATA
