Alright, I have an Emachine here that will not power on. When power is hooked up to the PSU the light around the button just sits and flashes. The PSU fan will run but no beeps, hard drive spin up or CPU fan spinning.

I have tried multiple PSUs and I'm guessing that the mobo is dead but what are some of your thoughts?
 
In my experience, eMachine PSUs tend to take out mobos like crazy.
 
Mobo is bad. What is your socket for your board. Usually you can get a new board and a good PS and reinstall windows.
 
I figured, I better order a new PSU then also so this don't happen again.

Are there any places to get a cheaper socket 478 other than newegg?
 
Whats the processor? Might be cheaper/better to get new setup off the fs/ft forums than buy a 1 motherboard new.
 
I"ll see what I can find, I'm trying to spend as little as I can as this lady will not understand very well why and what she needs.
 
What is the processor? 1.8/256/400 or like 2.53/256/533. You will need to list the processor correctly for us to help get the right motherboard.
