Is it feasible to identify the fault in a dead motherboard myself with a fairly basic multimeter and some patience?
My mobo died last week and I had to replace it. I couldn't see anything obviously blown, but for my own curiosity I'd quite like to know what failed, especially if it's something I could reduce the risk of in the future (like reducing ingress of pet hair into the chassis... đ
)
