I bought a new Air jet spray.
My mobo was very dusty so I'd give it a good clean. All went fine...until I started spraying it. [img]graemlins/awcrap.gif[/img]
The spray acted like freeze spray and while I did fair job in spraying most of the dust out, I also ended up freezing my mobo as well.
I DID remove HDD, Graphics card (An old GeForce, same era as VooDoo 3)and SB Live! Value and my 56k Modem.

But that isn't my MAIN problem.

I ended up plugging off switch plug, all of them by accident. I tried to clean that area and thought it was one big switch. Wrong. I removed Reset, Power, LED, speaker swich ALL of them by accident. And I don't know how the order goes either! :embarrassed: And even though I will replace Mobo, CPU and RAM soon, I don't really plan on killing my computer anytime soon!
I tried downloading manual for my mobo but the site is currently down... [img]graemlins/verysad.gif[/img]

P.S. My current mobo is Gigabyte GA-6BX7, a PIII mobo.
