Wizard of DelRay:
DrewKaree:  Thanks for the compliments.  I'm thinking exactly like you and just wanted to see this resolved.

Now, since I have nothing to let me think otherwise, I'll assume this is resolved.  Arcadiac, I will have the mobo/cpu out tomorrow.

Out of curiosity, did anyone check to see if it was a power supply issue?  Or possibly the CPU fried?  Just wondering. ???
Gunstar Hero:
Arcadiac -- Hey, a full MAME machine with PC and monitor for $500 is a smokin' deal, no matter how you slice it. And that one, from the pix in his other thread, was a pretty nice looking cab at that.

I'm sorry you're having trouble with it now, but "let the buyer beware" is pretty standard practice in a person to person handshake kind of deal like this.

I knew this when he bought it, but didn't care since I need the space, he isn't even keeping it. He bought it to resell and make a profit.
Lilwolf:
I have to say... Rob... you are going farther then you should.

This problem probalby would be fixed in 5 minutes by anyone who knows about computers.  

I worked for a company who sold prebuilt computers for a few years.  And 95% of all tech support was shipping related.  Cards pop out.  Memory pops out.  We ended up using hotglue guns and glue down ALL cards before shipping and all cables.... Really... and it worked.

But if someone is reselling used computer equipment... They should know enough how to diagnose a computer...  

But it was used...

Wizard brings up a good thing here, i've worked on a couple of machines where during transport, the el cheapo metal clip holding the heatsink down to the board has either come off or actually broken the little plastic tab on the mobo, making it useless, a cpu without a heatsink can fry in microseconds
