    Easiest route - buy a new one.

    Seriously, buy a new one. Decent motherboards don't cost a fortune nowadays. Also, pretty hard to "repair" something, without knowing exactly what's broken.


    BUT: Make sure that it's really the motherboard that is busted, else you just waste money.

    I don't even think computer technicians repair motherboards they just replace it if it's the cause of the issue.

    My thoughts exactly.


    Well, you could try to "bake" your motherboard - Reconnect the solder on the motherboard

    Here is a guide. It's for laptop motherboard, but the process should be the same for every other one

    this part is very complicated to repair its a 50/50 chance of repairing even with machines to fix coz the small parts inside of it is very sensitive

    What is your Motherboard model? Many MB are affect on BIOS with CMOS battery, Blast Capacitor, Check these. If negative then washing it Sprit and keep it Sunlight then again check it.

    When your motherboard doesn't work, chances that you can repair it are very low. Better get a new one bro!

    Imo you should not try to undertake this repair yourself as motherboard is a critical component and needs
    laptop service by a professional.

    Actualy technicians can replace something in your motherboard but it depends in the problem. Sometimes some thing in the board is not working properly but it doesn't mean that your whole motherboard is destroyed, maybe it just the motherboard is not working properly bacause of that thing.. so I recommend to go to technician and try to ask for help..Maybe the problem is costless.

    I have seen server boards etc getting soldered with replacement parts etc so it is possible. The people I observed doing it were Level III Sys Admins in a top data center on the West Coast of the US so needless to say, they knew what they were doing!
