The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

power problem, replaced power supply and now I have no monitor

Tags: Gateway, Performance 1300 desktop, 6500525 power supply replaced, no video, monitor will respond
At first the monitor would stop responding. Checked all power and monitor settings and the only way to get it to work was to diconnect monitor and reconnect. A few days later computer would not power up and I would get a amber light on power button. Power supply is gateway part # 6500525 specs can be found here: http://www.atxcases.com/item.asp?desc=gateway-6500525-300-watt&id=1471

I swapped out power supply and now computer boots up just fine except no monitor. I swapped out the graphics card (Same brand) still not nothing. I swaped out monitors and nothing. I checked all connections from the power supply to computer and they look fine. Any suggestions????

often the power supply goes together with the motherboard; often here questions with both bad
maybe any bad caps ?  check at www.badcaps.net

nobus,
Thanks for the reply. I'm not familiar with badcaps.net. How would this help me? Please explain

You are supposed tio inspect the capacitors, as stated cleraly on the page i linked to - you did not read it i think ?

If the caps inside the PSU are bad it will put out bad power.
Wrong voltages, noisy (static - ripple voltages).
-
It's not uncommon for a PSU gone bad to destroy or damage the motherboard when it fails. - A common damage is to damage the chipset which is where on-board video comes from.

Can you recommand a replacement board? I'd like to take low budget option on this one.
 
05.14.2008 at 08:03PM PDT, ID: 21570408
What exactly is the motherboard?
 
05.14.2008 at 08:08PM PDT, ID: 21570425
There were several boards used in that system.
There should be a sticker on the board with a 7 digit number beginning with 4000.
That would be the part number of the board.

It should be MUCH less expensive if you can find one on eBay.
Just search the part number one you know it.
NEVER buy an eBay board that says 'untested' or that has no warranty!

- Searching the PN on google doesn't hurt either.

check for the same model, or the same chipset, to avoid a reinstall

PCBONEZ,
It's a 4000656

Here is yours specifically:
http://support.gateway.com/s/MOTHERBD/INTEL/2513569/251356901.shtml
.
The actual manufacturer was Intel.
.
Any of 4000656, 4000725, or 4000762 should be a direct replacement such that you don't need new memory or CPU or to reinstall software.
(I said should with 95% confidence! Some boards have a chip that ties it to the OS but I don't think this one does.)
.
'Probably' any similar board with an Intel 850 chipset with no sound or LAN on-board will work. No sound or LAN chip on-board makes it easier because there are no drivers issues to complicate the swap.
.
Socket 423/RDRAM boards aren't particularly popular anymore so you shouldn't have to dig too deep into your wallet to replace it. (Nothing wrong with them, the industry just went the other way.)

One like this would work too if you don't have your heart set on using the old sound and LAN cards. (And you'd have a spare CPU to test with.)
