I started a thread regarding my problem in the Mobile Computing forum and haven't got any help, so sorry for cross posting, but I need some input here...
Dell Inspiron 1100 with a Celeron 2g, 128m memory and Intel graphics. When I received it, the complaint was no video. Turns out it's not posting, fans spin up, but it doesn't make it to post. Tore it down, and the CPU/HSF spring loaded screws had backed out and the whole assembly basically fell out in my hand. Cleaned everything up, reseated the CPU/HSF and everything tightened up just fine, tried to get it to post and nada.... same results.
What are the odds that the CPU is fried? Or is it more likely the mobo? I've got a CPU that I could try, but I don't really want to run the risk of frying a perfectly good part hoping that it will fix the problem.....
