Hello and thanks for the great guide.

My Z240IC wount start, is there a way to check if the problem is the motherboard?

MY piece of crap Z240IC decided not to start yesterday. Beyond 1 year warranty (barely), and can’t find a replacement working motherboard to swap with. The power supply (cord) went out 6 months ago. I believe when this happened, something may have damaged one of the circuits, as the machine has slowly shown issues of failing parts. I can’t believe I spent so much on this “iMac Killer” and yet it never lived up to it’s proclaimed reputation, nor is it built to last. It looks like we’re all pretty screwed here.
