[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Motherboard Reccomendation

I am posting this for a friend as he does not have posting privileges.
I have changed the reply to line to his account so that I don't end up
getting all the messages.



Recently, I plugged my modem power cable into my keyboard port :-(

Hardware = HP ES-12
Power cable = Pins 3,5 17.3 VAC ; Pins 1,4 27.5 VAC ; Pin 2 C.T.

1)  Is the motherboard shot?  (I assume so.)

2)  Are my VGA, HD controler, mouse, etc. also gone? (I have no way of
    testing them)

3)  What are some good motherboard replacements? (DTK, Micronics, ???)

4)  What should I look for in another motherboard?  (I have $525 to spend)

5)  Will another motherboard (brand) be plug compatible with my
    existing power supply?

Any light that could be shed on any of these questions would be
greatly appreciated!

Please reply to kmoore@polyslo.calpoly.edu

Thanks in advance!
