Just got back on line yesterday, after having ripped the m/board out of my old computer and proceeded to re-work all of the track work on the board.
V reckoned that I was wasting my time, but I am using the same m/board as what was broken at the time now, to talk to you guys!.
The USB ports are un-serviceable, but I have seen on the Net, an option that may work for me.
There is a plate that sits in the rear(or the front) of the CPU box and it connects to the m/board directly, via a pair of 4 pin headers, does anyone know if this is a viable option?.
As I have removed(de-soldered) the original USB sockets, because of the short-cicuit possibility.
Could someone please help me in this respect?, I would be most grateful!. [Linked Image]
