Feb 2018 I bought a acer TC-780-ACKi3 for my daughter(only 10 at the time, did not need a beast nor anything fancy, and it was only 349.00 on amazon at the time) good prebuilt acer for the cost.
fast forward now 15 months later, no boot no post(hsf just spin) and stops power light only illuminates when it does post for a quick second). went through the motions, I have come to the conclusion the board is shot(i think she spilled something and shorted it, there was a line of dried liquid down the back of the case). if i wiggle certain parts IE the VGA port it will post for a quick second and then shut down.
I have been trying to find a decent (non fancy non massive gaming board) that would be compatible with the 7th gen i3-7100 processor and ddr4 2400 ram the current board runs and can take up to 32GB of ram like the stock basic board it has.
90% of what I am finding are all mining boards(definitely not needed) looking to stay under 80 bucks.
Suggestions?
