I picked up a dead Offroad Thunder machine and I'd like to bring it back to life.
The Power in the PC powers up and the hard drives sounds like it spins up.
The lights on the front of the machine blink but I hear no audible beeps.
The Magic I/O Bus Card Lights illuminate, the wheel driver lights illuminate and the force feedback sets the wheel position at boot.
I don't see anything on the screen though there is power at the neck and the display is most certainly on. The sound/amp/board has two red lights and neither are lit but there is power in the cable. The previous owner tried a second sound board and it did the same thing.
I'm not sure if it's HD / Motherboard / Video Card and I don't have an old PCI video card to try out (but I'm looking for one) to see what the PC is saying.
The fact that there is no link on the LAN card, though --- makes me think the Motherboard is the issue. (or A issue)
Does anyone have a working Offroad thunder full PC they'd like to sell or the constituent components?
