Hello everyone,

this is probably for the ones with some decent computer knowledge.

Basically I have a compaq desktop, probably 5-6 years old .. and a few weeks ago I went to switch it on as normal (there was no problems the last time I was on it) .. and all that happened was one of those 'beep codes' .. the beep was one short beep, followed by one long beep.

Now I read around and asked a few friends, and they seem to think it's the motherboard .. beyond repair apparently.
I'm no good with the internals of desktops so I was wondering if anybody could give me any advice ?

Thanks very much !
