MOBO

This old computer was dying again, so we had to do some major surgery on it. We replaced the old Mother Board (MOBO), the part on which all the other parts are mounted, with a new one. Here is a post-mortem portrait of the old MOBO.

The round thing next to it is the old ( broken ) heat sink, which broke when we put it on that board because the holes in the MOBO were not in the right place. Also, the thermal sensor did not work, the RJ-45 internet connection had stopped working, and the SATA disk ports were throwing errors causing the computer to stop working at random times.
