” mother board beep indicates it finally died.”
Maybe memory. Pull out one of the memory sticks and see if it boots
Thanks - a few years ago, it took a hit that burnt out the Ethernet port so I got a USB dongle to connect. Then the wireless mouse started acting up and it wouldn’t recognize a USB mouse. I’ll check it out when I get home (been on the road for a month) but it’s probably got more issues than would make it worth repairing.
