I have an HP Pavilion 750c that made a funny noise, like an electrical 'pop' recently. The only 2 resulting problems is that no optical drives will work on the board, either internal OR connected by a USB cable (it doesn't matter which header is used, and a different ribbon cable didn't matter).
The other problem is that there is no network connectivity now. I can PING 127.0.0.1 and get a response from my onboard Ethernet controller, but that's it. I installed a PCI NIC and tried a known Ethernet cable, but no help at all.
So I know I have a problem, but I am interesting in knowing - What on the motherboard (chipset, etc.) actually controls these two functions? Also, if anyone has a good used MB for sale for this PC, send me an e-mail ;)
