I got an Acer 1310 with an AMD 2400 processor which was not working.
(pressing the 'on' button would only make the fan spin for a couple of seconds) I was really happy when I could buy another mainboard including an AMD 1400 processor out of an Acer 1300. It fitted nicely in the casing, and I checked: these mainboards are interchangeable in with the attached hardware. This second mainboard has improvements over the first one, but I am not quite happy with the result;
If I press the on/off button, the led on the mainboard lights up, the fan spins for a few seconds and the series of leds light up. Also the cd-rom starts spinning a bit, and I can hear the harddrive spin. The screen doesn't come on, and I also tried the external VGA: to no avail. I can hear no beeps that point out something is missing or wrong, so I am clueless of what to check next. I also exchanged memory out of a working laptop, and I really like this notebook to eventually work. Could anyone tell me what I overlooked, or should check?
