Multi-layered printed circuit board Copper circuit paths called traces carry signals and voltages across the motherboard Some layers carry data for input/output while other layers carry voltage and ground returns Form factors of M/B ◦ 3 most common form factor classifications:  Baby AT (11.2" x 8.2")  ATX (12" x 9.6“)  Slimline NLX (8.0" x 10.0“)

The motherboard is the hub of all data exchange

The U. The Busses. Chips

System BUS

 ROM chips/ BIOS chips  CMOS storage. Intel chipset 915G. The  The chipset(Controllers). south bridge ICH6 is to the left Data exchange on the M/B  Real Time Clock (RTC) -System Clock  Keyboard Controller - Super I/O controller

Sockets Plugs, connectors and ports Others – N/W Interface IC, Sound IC etc

The U circuit (the ”die”)

The U is mounted on the motherboard, hidden under the cooling fan and heat sink.

Cache RAM is much faster than normal RAM

The way the processor uses the L1 and L2 cache.

Bridges connect the various busses together Bus connect various devices

Computer POST / beep codes PC Analyzer Card code

1. Computer POST / beep codes– They are different for different BIOS manufacture like AMI, Phoenix, IBM, AWARD, Macintosh Example for IBM BIOS –       

No Beeps - No Power, Loose Card, or Short 1 Short Beep Normal POST, computer is ok - No problem 2 Short Beep POST error, review screen for error code - See screen Continuous beep - Power supply failure Repeating short beeps - Power supply failure One long and two short beeps - Display adapter (video card) failure One long and three short beeps - Display adapter (video card) failure

Visually check dry soldering ts and then resold them Visually check electronic components and replace damaged components

 Capacitor  Inductor  Resistor  If still problem occur, we check IC using IC tester and replace it if gone bad  If still problem is not resolved then ask expert help
