I'm having intermittent booting issues.  Sometimes it will just sit there and I get the "No Video" message one the screen.  Cycle power a couple of times, and it will boot.  Should I be looking at a logic board or power supply?

I did find a logic board on eBay for a good price:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-A7NBX-VM-Motherboard-AMD-Athlon-AXDA3000DKV4D-Socket-462-512-MB-Memory-/111714708440?hash=item1a02b72bd8:g:AgYAAOSw~gRVnw2k

double check the power supply, but as i've mentioned the purple ECS boards are JUUUUUUUUNK. I've literally fixed or replaced all of them.

that CPU on that board for sale you linked is an absolute beast to cool. I got stuck with one of those athlon 3000+ CPU's on one i have in the shop and had to put a 6000 RPM fan on the small CPU cooler to flow enough air to cool properly. even then it's a tad warm....i ended up hacking a hole on the left side with an aux fan to pull hot air out. it's not super ugly, but it works.

you can get a mobile athlon or a GEODE CPU for this board, the TDP is like 9 watts TDP opposed to the athlon 3000+ at 60 watts and the mobile CPU's need bugger all to cool and 1.7ghz is plenty for what it's doing.

I think I'm hosed on the 2007 and maybe even the 2013.

The '07 crashes almost every time I hit the admin button and the 2013 won't hold touch screen calibration.  I don't want to keep pouring money into these considering I've put a bit into them already and I keep encountering more problems.

lilshawn:
Your 07 sounds like a bad file.  A reload should fix it.  If not,  a new HD.   The install procedure doesn't fix or check for bad sectors.
 
Your calibration issue could just be gunk under the edge of the screen or missing/damaged tape around the bezel.  The Evo cabinets had conductive layer on the inside for EMI interference compliance.  If the tape around the bezel has gone or shifted,  it can throw off the touchscreen by draining away the energy the panel uses to sense  the capacitance change.  It can't hurt to change it out.  I use fabric "hockey tape" to isolate the panel from the bezel.

Put the new software on the 2013 and it seems to be running well.  :D  My next issue is the software for the 2007.

I have the Force-Ion ISOs(Megatouch Force-ION 2007.5 Disc 1 of 2 V23_00T070420_1642_1OF2), but my Ion only software only goes back to 2009(Megatouch ION 2009.5 Disc 1 of 2 V31_02T090616_1433_1OF2).

Can I use the Force-Ion disc on this Ion Evo?
