As per title, we have one unit mark for scrap in the office, so I planned to revive it for home use

symptom are unable to boot up, blank screen, but got power

So I'm assume the PSU are fine, most likely it's mobo issue

HDD already re-purpose for other use, but the ram & i5 4th gen proc still intact, and I could re-use them
including the case, cablings & the oem win7 license.

but here comes the problem, upon closer inspection of the mobo, it has 2 x 6 pins for power, and they wasn't PCI-E connector, heads are different

the black & white 6-pins at the bottom

are those customized connectors for HP?

so it's either I hunt down a re-furbished mobo of same model, and can recycle almost all parts?
or I'll need to buy new mobo, new PSU, new casing, new proc sink & fan, which I only can recycle the proc & mem? doh.gif

any other advice?

symptom are unable to boot up, blank screen, but got power -> most probable reason => PSU

if u think mobo issue, then why u reuse?

hence I need to find out what's wrong first

main suspect is the mobo, cos can power up, beep beep beep, just no screen, can't boot

problem is both seems are highly customized by HP, cannot just buy one off the shelf and cucuk to test doh.gif
