    also - are you running ICQ or MSN?
    Unfortunately, I have no ICQ nor MSN - I usually have no time for that...

    You said - "above"? from this picture I can't see any diodes above the chips...

    Then most likely it is resistor with zero resistance (it that strip only one and has black color). Check the resistance using multimeter...should be zero Ohm - it's usually used as fuse...

    OK, this board has dead comm ports, but has a PS2 header (which I have fitted) Here what i need to know, would any of you sell a board on in kinda working order - ie the comm ports don't work as long as the end user is notified, I mean I don't really want to, its just a question as Socket 7 boards are hard to come by for a good price these days, I might build it into a server box with a 233mmx Intel, I don't yet know, please, no flaming, its a question nothing more.

    Garak "I buy things cheap to play with and find out how they work"
    I don't think so. If the Comm Ports are gone, something else may follow soon.

    I'd just toss a cheap Duron in it and use it as a file server.

    I think he was refering to replacing the board and CPU cheez, but I'm working more and more toward fixing it (it's finding the time and energy)
