• Is there any way to fix fried PC components?
    8 replies, posted
So it was around 2007, and my dad had this computer downstairs that was out second to best one, it was a pretty decent with a P4 64mb video card 1.5 gb ram and all that cool stuff, but my dad was doing something with the houses powerbox or transformer or whatever you want to call it, and it sent a shock to the computer, it even passed the surge protector, and hitting the PC, my dad says none of the parts work, not the ram or the video card and nothing else, but is there anyway of fixing this? There isn't any visible burn marks or anything, I just want to see if there is a method to fix the parts?
If it fried, it died. Permanently.
You might be able to get a payout from the surge protector company. Some of them insure your stuff so if their protector fails to protect it, you can get them to pay you back. I think. I remember seeing it on one surge protector. Not sure how you prove the components are damaged and that you used the protector though.

I guess it's too bad if it happened a while ago and you don't have the protector.
Not a chance; all electronics run off the blue smoke. Once the blue smoke escapes, you can't put it back. :frown:

Baking? :v:
The blue smoke is hardly believeable but is correct alothough it doesn't run off blue smoke once it escapes it can't be repaired. My bud detonated a diode last semester that was fun.
Have you even tested it? Chances are just the power supply could be dead.
