So I've got a dead 7700 with a P4 socket 478, well only the mobo is dead is my guess. It won't see the HDD's in the bios anymore so unless there is another fix for this then yea I need a new mobo.
Does anyone know where I can get one? I would even take a used one to save some cash.
I've got 2 of these so I was able to drop my drives into the other and stay up. But I would like to resurrect the other and put it back into action. Any help would be very appreciated.

RJtech.com used to have refurb mobos, but I they've finally sold out. Also, aren't all of these Socket T (775)?

There was a known issue with the hard drive controller, but its hard to determine if the mobo failed, or just the HDD controller. Someone posted something about it over a year ago, and he used a voltmeter to find the part that went bad, then stole another one off another dead board and soldered it on himself.

Good luck in your search.

Thanks for that great info! A HDD controller fail sounds more promising, however getting the part is another thing. I'll post results if I get any.
