What can you do with a broken motherboard?

[pcexplosion]

So I have a broken MSI P67a-gd53 mobo that doesn't post or anything because I dropped my pc like last year and it never worked after that so I just went and got a z77 board.What can I do with it?

Nail it to your wall.

[extremescouter]

Frame it, or e-waste it. 

[Godlygamer23]

Use it as a weapon. Perhaps a shield. Solder a handle on it.

[pcexplosion]

Would it be good for parts some how?

[mgsstar]

Blend it cause i think this can be blend. jk

 

You could probably get some of the parts but I don't think it will be useful for your future builds

[Darell3]

Zombie shield ;)

some mobos have gold on it

try to get the scrap

I would put it on the wall.

Sooo if u want fun. Put it in your bathroom and first wash it, your motherboad will be happy. then take your sledgahmmer and Hit it as hard as you can. or you hang it at your wall or you throw it at a child that's just driving a bicycle( aim for the head). Or just do extreme tests. See on how much °C it starts melting. or if you can Freeze it

Dinner plate, chopping board, use the back side as a cheese grater.

Actually, there's no problem with washing off your motherboard, as long as it's thoroughly dry before you turn it on. Water is conductive, so getting water on it while powered up is bad, but there's not usually anything on the board that is soluble, or otherwise damaged merely ny the presence of water.

Water is not conductive. It's when minerals get into it that makes it conductive. Pure water can touch electronics.

Details, details. :)

 

Just make sure the cola you spill on it uses distilled water. :)

I wouldn't have soda anywhere near a motherboard. Motherboard will get sticky, and (if it's sugared) I don't think sugar will be too nice on a motherboard.

[Art Vandelay]

Use it as a coaster.

should I bake it in the oven?

[mgsstar]

should I bake it in the oven?

You could try because its already broken. But I would recommend baking it in an oven where you won't be cooking food in because this can create hazardous fumes. I think you should remove the CMOS battery before baking it.

Motherboard for dinner. Hopefully you serve it with barbecue sauce. Motherboards can be bland.

would the bios chip be worth anything?

[mgsstar]

You could possibly sell it to people but you won't earn much from it. Sites like ebay sell bios chips for around $15 CAD new.

[Akula]

Yeah id nail it to the wall also :)

Send is to a recycling company for proper disposal.

[FireFox]

Throw it in the bin or do what Carey Holzman does with failed parts and shoot them lol
