mainboard query

[Rubix]

Hi,
My PC has died on me, and I only bought it a few months ago. I was getting
long single beeps and tried to test the RAM , but I think I've compounded
the problem now. I bent a capacitor with too much force and also the battery
doesn't fit back into place securely anymore. Now the fan and drives fire up
but no video. (FIC P4M-800T motherboard)

My question, if I want a good quality motherboard to replace my old and
possibly rebuild this thing from its partsh . What should I be looking for?
I have a P4 chip with HT and I plan to use my ATI graphics card . I will
probably need to replace my memory too with
Or is there a possibility that my motherboard can still be fixed and how?

Since the damage was user inflicted waranty won't cover it, but you
could ask vendor about repair cost. Or you could buy another one, same
model, or do a little research on motherboards. www.google.com

Can't tell whether your mobo can be fixed, but if you replace it and do not
want to replace your CPU and memory as well, then look for a board that will
work with your current CPU and memory.
