[SOLVED] Intel N232 MOBO Smoking

[JemaineSA]

Ok
So I have a Intel N232 MOBO, 400w PSU, and connected 3: 500gb drives to it, excluding a 320 for OS. Worked fine but suddenly just switched off and I smelled something smokey.
I stripped the Tower and noticed smoke appear from one of the small chips oņhe board neare the "caps". Looks bit burnt etc.
Can it be repaired or chucked away?

Intel 915G Express motherboard, Intel N232, is obsolete. I would not put any money into such a out-of-date system.

If you want to replace the motherboard try eBay:
