Today, more and more integrated motherboard, motherboard repair has  become increasingly difficult, often using specialized digital testing  equipment to complete. However, some motherboards do not require  specialized common faults detection equipment, your own hands can be  resolved, following are some of the most typical example of a  motherboard failure repair and hope that everyone will learn the basic  approach to solve the motherboard failure.
First, boot no display type fault
【Example 1】: motherboard does not start, boot-free shows that the memory alarm sound ( "Didi" to call a non-stop)
Cause  of the malfunction: Memory alarm failure is more common, is mainly  caused by poor contact of memory. For example, non-standard memory, the  memory of a bit thin, when the memory into the memory slot, leaving some  gaps; memory of the finger technique is poor, the surface of  gold-plated cheat poor over time, Finger surface oxide layer gradually  thickened, leading to poor contact memory; memory slot of poor quality,  reed contact with the memory of the finger is not really so.
Approach:  Open box, with rubber carefully wipe the memory clean of the finger to  get down and re-insert memory look, with hot melt adhesive to the memory  slots on both sides of the gap filled to prevent oxidation of the use  of the process to continue. Note: In-swappable memory be sure to unplug  the power cord off the host, to prevent accidental burning of the  memory.
【Example 2】: motherboard does not start, boot no display, there are graphics alarm sound (a long two short tweet)
Cause  of the malfunction: Normally, graphics card loose or damaged. Approach:  Open box, put a good graphics card can be re-inserted. To check the AGP  slot if there were a small foreign body, otherwise it would be graphics  card will not plug in place; the board for the use of voice alarm  should be careful to distinguish the contents of the voice prompts, and  then solve the corresponding failure based on content.
If the  above approach even after the police, it could be bad graphics chips,  and replace or repair card. If the boot after the hear "tick," gave the  self-test passed, but that did not display the normal image, put the  card inserted in the other motherboard, use the normal, that is,  graphics are not compatible with the motherboard, graphics card should  be replaced.
【Example 3】: motherboard does not start, boot no display, no alarm sound
Failure reason: There are many reasons, mainly the following.
Approach:  For the following reasons, one by one to exclude. Ask you are familiar  with digital circuit analog circuit, will use the multimeter, and  sometimes also need to check with DEBUG card failure.
(1) CPU issues
CPU  no electricity: multimeter test CPU can be used around the three (or a)  field pipe and three (or a) rectifier diode, check the CPU for damage.
CPU  socket pins are missing or loose: the performance of such failures as  the point does not light or non-crash. Need to open the surface of the  superstructure of the CPU socket, carefully observe with your eyes  whether the deformation of the pin.
CPU fan socket fixed clamp  fracture: You can consider the use of other fixation methods, generally  do not replace the CPU socket, because the left hand soldering easier to  hidden failures. SOCKET370 of the CPU, its fixed the radiator through  the CPU sockets, if the fixed leaf spring too tight, demolition must be  careful when, otherwise it will cause a plastic clamp fracture, there is  no way a fixed CPU fan.
CPU frequency CMOS settings wrong  inside: as long as you can clear the CMOS to solve. Clear CMOS jumper on  the motherboard in general vicinity of the lithium batteries, its  default location is generally 1,2 short, as long as its changed for the  2,3-short jump a few seconds you can solve the problem, for the previous  old motherboard, such as the finding does not to the jumper, as long as  the battery removed, to be displayed into the CMOS settings and then  boot off the battery to install up will also allow CMOS discharge.
(2) motherboard expansion slot or an expansion card problem
Because  the motherboard or expansion card expansion slot problems, leading to  plug in graphics cards, sound cards and other expansion cards, the  motherboard does not respond, thus creating a boot no display. For  example, brute-force disassembly AGP graphics card, resulting in  cracking AGP slot, you can cause such failures.
(3) memory problems
Motherboard  does not recognize the memory, memory corruption or memory does not  match: Some older motherboards more selective memory, once the plug in  the motherboard does not recognize the memory, motherboards, will not  start, and even some motherboards do not fault tips (tweet). In  addition, if the plug in different brands, types of memory, and  sometimes lead to such failures.
Memory slots Broken Needle or  burning: sometimes because of excessive force or improper installation  method will cause deformation of the memory slot of the spring break, so  that the memory slot scrapped. Note: Plug memory should be the vertical  force, do not shake around. In the swap memory before the host must  unplug the power to prevent the use of STR function, memory, live,  burning memory. In addition, do not install anti-memory, and to avoid  power-up and burned in memory. But now the motherboard, generally  foolproof will be designed to insert anti-.
(4) The motherboard BIOS is damaged
The  motherboard BIOS the hardware store important data, while the  motherboard BIOS is the more vulnerable parts susceptible to damage,  once damaged it will cause the system to not run.
Such failures  usually occur because the motherboard BIOS has been caused by CIH virus  attack. In general after the virus destroyed BIOS, hard disk where data  will be all lost, you can detect the hard disk data is intact, in order  to determine whether the BIOS has been damaged; in a time when DEBUG  card can also be through the BIOS on the card indicator light to  determine whether the . When the BIOS, BOOT block has not been  destroyed, start after the display does not shine, PC speakers have  "toot" sound the alarm; if BOOT is damaged, then, after power on, power  supply and hard disk lights, CPU fan turn, but it does not start at this  time only through the programmer to rewrite the BIOS.
You can  also plug in ISA card, see if there is displayed (if prompted, can  prompt steps below.), If there is no boot screen, you can even act as an  automatic update BIOS, floppy disk, re-update BIOS, but there are The  motherboard BIOS is damaged, the floppy drive simply does not work, at  this time recommend to service providers, device will be used to write  code to write BIOS in the BIOS update file.
(5) CMOS battery problem using the
Press  the power switch, hard drive and power lights, CPU fan turn, but the  host does not start. When, after removing the battery, you can start  normally.
(6) The board automatically protect lock
Some  motherboard with automatic detection protection function, when the power  supply voltage is abnormal, or CPU overclocking, adjusting the voltage  is too high occurs, will automatically lock to stop working. Performance  is what the board does not start, then the CMOS after discharge may be  combined with electric start, and some motherboards need to board the  power to open, hold down the RESET key to unlock it.
(7) capacitors on the motherboard is damaged
Check  the capacitors on the motherboard, or whether the bubble burst. When  the capacitor voltage is too high or because of long high temperature  BBQ will bubble or drip fluid, when the capacity of capacitance decrease  or loss of capacity, capacitance will lose filtering function, the  provision of load current to increase the exchange of components ,  resulting in CPU, memory, and the relevant board job insecurity,  manifested as easy to hang or system instability, often a blue screen.
【Example 4】: motherboard temperature control disorders, leading to boot no display
ASUS  P3B-F motherboard can monitor the CPU temperature, using a temperature  monitoring 2Pin lines, inserted in the CPU slot beside the pins on the  JTP. Later, in the course of time playing the game, the machine suddenly  a blue screen, reboot, wait until the CD-ROM, hard disk self-test does  not actually exhausted display bright.
Failure reason: connected  to the motherboard's temperature-controlled off-line, off the  motherboard, causing the motherboard automatically protect the state,  refused to increase power. As the CPU heat is very large, many  motherboards offer a strict temperature control and protection devices.  General CPU temperature is too high, or on the motherboard temperature  monitoring system fails, the motherboard will automatically enter the  protection. Refuse to power-start, or alarm.
Approach:  Re-connecting the temperature control cable, and then you can boot. Note  that if your motherboard does not start properly or alarm, you should  first check the motherboard temperature monitoring devices are normal.
2, CMOS type fault
【5】 examples: Computer frequently crashes, conducting crash CMOS settings will appear the phenomenon of
Cause of the malfunction: is generally bad or motherboard motherboard design thermal problem caused by Cache.
Approach:  If the heat is not good enough because of the motherboard caused the  failure, you can touch the CPU after the crash around the motherboard  components, you will find that the temperature is very hot, in the  replacement of high-power fans, the crash failure can be resolved.
If  it is a problem caused by Cache, you can enter the CMOS settings,  immediately after the Cache prohibited. Of course, Cache ban, the  machine speed would certainly be affected. If the fault can not be  resolved according to the law, it is motherboard or CPU have problems,  only to replace the motherboard or CPU.
【6】 examples: CMOS  parameters of the loss, after the boot prompt "CMOS Battery State Low",  and sometimes you can start to use some time after the crash.
Cause of the malfunction: This phenomenon mostly due to power shortages in CMOS.
Approach:  If it is welded battery, you can re-power soldering iron can be welded  on a new battery; if it is button-type battery can be replaced; if it is  chip-type battery, you can replace the chip, preferably in the same  type chip replacement.
If you replace the battery, the time is  not long, suffers from a similar phenomenon, it is likely to be board  leakage, you can check the diodes, or capacitors on the motherboard is  damaged, you can also use an external battery jumper.
【7】 examples: CMOS settings can not be saved
Cause  of the malfunction: is generally caused due to lack of motherboard  battery approach: replacement of the battery can. If you have the  battery replaced the motherboard, but also solve the problem, you should  check the motherboard CMOS jumper have any questions, sometimes because  it would be wrong on the motherboard CMOS jumper set to clear the  option, or set to an external battery, will be made CMOS data can not be  saved. If not the above reasons, you can determine that the circuit  board there are problems, I suggest you look for professional repair.
【8】 examples: Board anti-virus does not shut down, resulting in the system can not be installed
Install  Win98 initial stage, the screen suddenly appeared on a black  rectangular area, such as what prompt, and then stop installed. Adjust  the display brightness and contrast switches are also invalid, killing  the virus with anti-virus software and did not find any viruses.
Failure  Cause: This behavior is easier to buy in the new motherboard, because  by default, the new motherboard BIOS in the anti-virus is set mostly  Enabled, it will appear similar to the failure.
Approaches:  carefully read the motherboard manual. Into the CMOS setup program, the  "BIOS Features Setup" (BIOS feature set) in the "Virus Warning" (Virus  Warning) option from the "Enabled" (allow) set to "Disabled"  (Prohibition), you can solve the problem .
【9】 examples: Installing Windows, or start Windows when the mouse is not available
A  old 586 computer, install Windows, or when you start Windows the mouse  is not available to replace a good mouse, the fault is still not be  excluded. Suspected to be board PS / 2 mouse interface failure, to get  the professional board test points, check the PS / 2 mouse port to  normal.
Cause of the malfunction: CMOS parameter errors caused by  IRQ settings. Such failure is common in the old 586 computer, new  motherboard generally will not have this problem.
Approach: In  the CMOS settings, power management field, there is a Modem use IRQ  project, options were 3,4,5 ......, NA, in general it is the default  option for three, set it to 3 other than the interruption of items, you  can troubleshoot.
In addition, a number of old 586 computers, COM  port and LPT port is connected through a signal cable connected to the  chassis outside of the signal line of the access method, with the board  differ, if the access method does not also lead to the mouse is not  available, their access laws generally have the following two:
(1) signal line in accordance with the order of 1 to 9, in turn connected with the connector;
(2)  signal line and the connection point cross-linked above a row of  connectors are connected to the signal lines 1,3,5,7,9, following a row  as 2,4,6,8.
【10】 example: Cache on the motherboard is damaged
Cache on the motherboard is damaged, the performance to run the software crashes, or simply can not install the software.
Approach: in the CMOS settings, "External Cache" entry set to "Disable" after troubleshooting.
3, I / O device is not functioning properly fault
【11】 examples: board COM port or parallel port, IDE port failure
Cause of the malfunction: General is due to hot plug hardware caused by the user.
Approach:  You can use multi-function card instead. But instead, you must first  ban on the motherboard that comes with COM port and parallel port, pay  attention to some motherboards with IDE port to be banned, before being  used normally.
【12】 example: can not use the keyboard interface on the motherboard
Good  to connect a keyboard, power on self test when prompted "Keyboard  Interface Error" after the crash, unplug the keyboard, re-inserted to  pursue a normal start the system, using the keyboard no response after a  period of time.
Failure reason: plug the keyboard several times, causing loose keyboard interface board.
Approach:  remove the motherboard can be a good electric soldering iron to re-. If  it is charged plug the keyboard, causing a form of insurance on the  motherboard of the power block (on the motherboard marked as Fn things),  put on a 1 ohm / 0.5 watt resistor.
【13】 examples: integrated on the motherboard display adapter failure
The  Great Wall has a computer, the boot sound 8 sound, determine display  adapter failure. Open the case found that the display adapter integrated  on the motherboard, nor the motherboard manual.
Cause of the  malfunction: After boot ring several more, most of them do not insert a  good memory, motherboard or display adapter failure.
Approach: a  close look at the jumpers on the motherboard marked, shielding out the  motherboard on the integrated display device, some motherboard CMOS  settings need to prohibit the integrated graphics on the motherboard;  and then plug in the expansion slot on the card can be good.
【14】 example: the printer parallel port on the motherboard is damaged
Of  more than 486 computers, printers, parallel port integrated on the  motherboard most prone to such failures, resulting in not print.
Cause  of the malfunction: Charged plug the printer cable signals, most likely  to cause damage to the parallel port on the motherboard.
Approach:  Check whether the printer supports DOS printing, in pure DOS mode, use  the DIR> PRN (only for needle and some laser printers, inkjet  printers and effective), see Printing is normal; see motherboard manual,  through "to prohibit or allow on the motherboard parallel port function  "related to jumper, set the" mask "function on the motherboard parallel  port (or through the CMOS settings to shield), and then in the ISA  expansion slot you can add a multi-function card.
【15】 examples: the motherboard of soft / hard disk controller is damaged
Cause  of the malfunction: from 486 started, most motherboards have integrated  soft / hard disk controller, the controller damage mostly caused by  electrically charged pluggable.
Approach: For the following conditions are dealt with separately.
(1)  floppy disk controller on the motherboard is damaged you can change the  jumper, or CMOS settings, plus a multi-function card, Gaoding.
(2)  hard disk controller, a bad hard drive, if the access is less than  528MB, you can add a multi-function card,; if by then the hard disk is  larger than 528MB, need to update the motherboard BIOS, or the use of  relevant software.
【16】 instance: IDE connection error, can not find hard drive
A  40GB console, in a dual-drive Duikao, re-connecting to the main hard  drive and boot the machine prompts can not find any IDE device, can not  find the hard disk can not access WinXP. After the restart enter the  CMOS setup program and found not detect any IDE devices are not detected  from another hard drive.
Fault reasons: frequent occurrence of  such failures. If it is not the hard disk itself is damaged, then the  wrong motherboard IDE cable or IDE port is damaged, can lead to such  failures. In addition, hang the hard disk, if the failure to make timely  change the jumper, there will be a similar situation. The investigation  in this case is caused by the errors IDE cable, ATA/100 hard drive line  Slave port connected to the hard disk.
Approach: Master port can be replaced.
4, power failures category
【17】 examples: power switch or RESET key to damage boot after a few seconds automatically shut down.
Cause  of the malfunction: Now a lot of switches and lights on the chassis,  headphone jack, USB socket poor quality. If the RESET key is pressed  after the bombs are not up, after power on because the host is always  reset, so press the power switch, the host will be no response, and  processing power are not the same, so the power light and hard disk  light does not shine, CPU the fan not to switch.
Approach: Open  chassis, repair power switch or the RESET button. Mostly on the  motherboard power switching power supply, the power tubes used for the  separation of the device and, if damaged, as long as the replacement  power tubes, capacitors can be.
【18】 example: power supply socket with virtual access, loose
This situation is rare, may from time to time to restart the emergence of the phenomenon.
Approach:  inspection can be turned on, the hand-shaking every part of the power  line interface to see if there is failure phenomenon.
【19】 example: insurance resistor fuse on the motherboard
There can not find the keyboard and mouse, USB mobile devices can not be used and so on.
Fault reasons: the insurance resistor fuse on the motherboard.
Approach:  determine the methods of simple, use the multimeter to measure the  resistance of files off of. If that is indeed the insurance resistor  fuse, you can use 0.5OHM about resistance replace.
【20】 example:  Power not the machine is configured to nForce2 motherboard, Athlon XP  1700 + (overclocked to 2400 +) CPU, each boot to be repeated by several  times the total "Power" button to light up the computer, and sometimes  still in testing standstill when the hard disk, and restart one can  usually solve the problem.
Cause of the malfunction: Athlon XP  2400 +'s power has reached 70W, while the nForce2 motherboard circuit  design of the power supply stability requirements are very high.
Approach:  replacement of brand-name power supply, you can troubleshoot. Chassis  poor power supply, the computer will cause great harm to the various  parts. Proposed nForce2 motherboard players in preparation for a 300 ~  350W brand names (such as the Great Wall, buffalo, HuntKey, etc.) power  supply. 5, hardware compatibility failures
【21】 examples: the motherboard is not compatible with the display
PC  configurations for the elite P6ISA-II motherboard (i815E chipset),  Samsung 750S monitor, install the driver later, when the boot display  appears stripes and actually does not restart after the display of the  imaging. Use substitution to replace all the parts in turn, found that  when using P6ISA-II motherboard with Samsung 750S equipped with  machines, fault occurs, and if the block with this motherboard  compatible with the other displays, fault does not appear.
Cause  of the malfunction: the motherboard is not compatible with the monitor  approach: replace the motherboard or the display can solve the problem.
【22】  examples: the motherboard and memory are not compatible machines are  nForce2 motherboard, added a 256MB Kingmax DDR400 (TinyBGA package)  memory, and the composition of the original memory, dual-channel mode,  but the added memory, the system becomes very unstable, play games from  time to time when the automatic restart or crash.
Cause of the  malfunction: nForce2 motherboard memory more selective about the other,  Kingmax memory, and a lot of motherboards are not compatible with the  existence of the problem.
Approach: nForce2 motherboard with  Kingston's DDR333 (Infenion particles), DDR400 (Winbond particles), and  Samsung original memory, with very good, we recommend installation of  this type of memory.
【23】 example: the driver is not compatible  with the motherboard in a number of brand-name motherboard, sometimes  there such a phenomenon: the motherboard driver Asus after the restart  the computer in normal mode does not enter the Win98 desktop, or a crash  occurs, CD-ROM drive access slow phenomenon, and that the driver can  not be uninstalled under Win98.
Cause of the malfunction: the motherboard and the driver is not compatible.
Approach:  find the latest motherboard driver re-install, issues are generally  able to resolve. If not, you can re-install the system.
