Picked up a PC from a little local antiques/junk store for $5. HP Pavilion 500-267c Has Intel core i3-4130 processor, 8Gb ram, 1Tb HDD , DVD-RW and WIFI.
Looks clean and unmolested, but when I tried starting it got a series of 5 long beeps that repeat 5 times then quit. CPU and case fans were running, HDD spins up, but nothing shows on the monitor and there seems to be no response to keyboard input.
Investigated a bit deeper and notice that there's a broken/burnt trace on the mobo. Anyone have tips on how best to repair this? Might not fix anything but seems worth a shot.
