Okay, things just took a turn for the worse... Last thing I did was make an adjustment to the PCIe 1x security in the BIOS... disabled ... and I can't remember the line exactly.
However, now the machine will not boot up. Nothing on the screen upon power on (tried DP default and then VGA out of curiousity). I check the power supply ... 19.5v. Motherboard has led near memory chip on.
After about 20-30 seconds the fan starts to spin faster and sounds like it goes up to full and just stays there.
No beeps, no HD activity. Never see POST screen (nothing on screen).
What happened? Did I just lose the motherboard/BIOS? I've pulled the battery, pressed the CMOS button. Removed all components except 1 memory card. Nada. If I remove the last memory card it does give me 5 beeps and red led flash near the power button.
I can't believe I got this far and boom.
Is it worth risking $15 on a used motherboard on eBay? Or should i offer this up for parts on same?
