Hello, everyone.
A week or so ago I replaced a motherboard on a computer for someone. While at my house, the computer functioned perfectly after the motherboard replacement. I even restarted it a few times to make sure it wasn't a fluke.
When the person took the computer home it wouldn't come on, and there's a light blinking on the powersupply. This was the same problem he had before the motherboard was replaced.
Now, my question for you all. What could cause it to work when I had it, but stop working when he had it? I know it's a failed motherboard again, but we're still unaware of what's caused this one to go bad.
We tested the powesupply with a multimeter, and all of that checked out. But is there something else that could be the issue with that?
Also, both times he plugged the PC in with a power strip. Is there any reason a power strip could cause it?
