My motherboard was recently serviced due to bad bios ic chip. They removed it and installed a new one and wrote a new bios into it. Now my audio driver isn't working. I'm planning to buy an m.2 nvme ssd Samsung 970evo plus. I need to know if my m.2 slot is working. Is there any way to test that? I do not have a spare ssd to test

They requested to send the cpu and RAM attached to the mobo. I took pictures of the serial numbers of the cpu, RAM and mobo just in case they send something else back

That is a lot! Here, the guy told me it's gonna cost me 30% of the cost of the mobo for fixing it

Lol Its easy as it sounds for people who can afford it. Covid has hit me hard on financial needs and now this

Now my main concern is well this dead mobo damage the costly cpu if it's powered on again at the service center?

No sign of anything when powered on after i removed the cpu

Ok yeah the motherboard doesn't light up even if cpu is removed so it's definitely a sign on a dead mobo. I just watched videos of mobos turning on without RAM or cpu. I guess mine is totally dead

I checked each of the 24pin with the multimeter. Each pin is delivering the exact volt as specified in the Corsair box. Thanks. This equipment looks fancy tho

Wait. What is post???

My psu is fine. I tried the paperclip experiment to see if the fan turns on in the psu. And yes it did

I tested all the 24pin in the PSU with a multimeter. It's working fine. All I need to know is - Can a motherboard turn on/light up/beep even for a second if the cpu is removed from the socket?

Yes. Tried this. Didn't work

Warranty has already been expired. So I'm shipping the mobo to a service center so they can fix the problem. I'm afraid if the cpu is damaged and that could be the reason why the mobo isn't turning on

Oh yeah it might have. But even if so, the LED strip build in the mobo should light up even for a second when powered on. It didn't

I have removed cpu and inserted back. Powered the mobo on. No sign of anything
