May I assume the MoBo is broken? by scum 2008-02-13 02:18:32
Since this is only my second day in fixing PCs professionally (luckily on a VERY small scale so there is not much money depending on me) I wonder if I should send this piece of hardware back.

It is an Asrock AliveNF6G Mainboard. It just won't boot from the SATA drive. I tried another HD, didn't work. I tried the HD in another PC, worked. I changed RAM and PSU to no effect.

May I (professonally) assume that mainbaord is fubar'd and needs to be sent back?
