At last, after waiting for almost a year, my computer was finally repaired. I had a hard time deciding whether to just change the defective component which is the motherboard or to buy a new set of hardware components (motherboard, processor and memory card).
I thought of replacing only the motherboard first, but upon my canvass in some of computer stores here in davao city, yes it was quite cheap than purchasing a new set of hardware (2,900 for motherboard socket 478 for intel in PC Gate G-Mall) but the problem was that aside from it is second hand, it has also no warranty. So I didn't take the risk of just wasting my money buying for a second hand motherboard, I decided to just buy a new set of hardware. Just yesterday, I had the money to buy the new set of hardware and finally repair my computer (thanks to my aunt in japan for giving me the money). I had done the installation of the components but I disassembled my unit and to re-assemble it again. Thanks to my acquired skills in PC assembly and basic troubleshooting during my On-the-Job Training days and I don't need to bring my bulky unit into the computer shop rather I did it at home. My computer right now is fully functioning. Finally I could continue my pending research.
By the way, I purchased the hardware at RASI Computers along Roxas Ave. This is where I took my OJT. They offered very low prices but quality computer peripherals and computer troubleshooting services. So for those who want to buy new computer set and hardware components, visit RASI Computers along Roxas Avenue.
