I love the Fix or Flop series, it's like watching one of those mystery or crime shows where you're trying to figure out whodunit along with the detective who's on the case.

I have a feeling your customer bought a broken system. Rather than fixing it I would have asked him if he wanted to ask for his money back. Although in the end a new replacement motherboard seems to have solved the problem.

If CMOS battery voltage is close to 0v, it means there might be issue with motherboard short circuiting, or the motherboard hasn't been powered on for a very very long time. Could be BIOS chip burnt in this case. You can try to get the BIOS chip replace.

Hi, Greg!
Sometimes, the drain on the CMOS battery IS a sign of cerious electronic damage - the battery being shorted, and

Love these videos! I just love diagnosing and figuring out what/where the issues are and fixing them to the best of my ability, so this scratches a neat itch in my head.
Keep it up, been watching *a lot* of these lately.

I've literally gone from zero knowledge about computers, to now having a good general grasp on how these things work! Appreciate everything you do for us Greg, love this amazing series

[Unreelness]

This has become my favorite series on YouTube as of late lol. Your stuggles feed my need for drama without wasting my time keeping up with the Kardashians 😂.

Favorite series! keep up the good work!

You know, as this series goes on, I find myself getting more and more skeptical that people are scamming for parts. I guess if it's only $100 you probably make your money back on the video pretty quickly so it doesn't really matter to you, but it takes away from someone who could actually probably use the fix or flop spot. I don't think I have ever encountered a motherboard where there was that many massive issues in one board... It's like they just threw in all the garbage parts they had lying around. Either way good job, and I love the series. I definitely have learned a few troubleshooting techniques from the videos and comments, even being a seasoned tech enthusiast.

These are so useful to learn how to fix computers thanks man

[pompeyjon]

Thanks Greg, I love this series, educational and entertaining!

Jesus that’s an awful case and really messed up build. Idk how you can do that to this poor pc. Whoever sold that to the new owner ripped them off lol. The original builder has no clue how to build PCs. Always love your videos mate! Always look forward to your videos :)

Hey Greg don't know if you will see this, but I have a crazy one. I left my pc on while sleeping. When I woke up it was frozen so I shut it off. Ever since, when I turn it on it will get to windows logo then shut off. I have reset cmos(even changed battteries), I have swapped RAM slots etc, and even re seated cpu and cleaned mobo. Never seen a pc boot to windows screen then shut off. I even swapped to old HD. It even shuts off in bios screen.

As someone who use to work as a PC technician, i love this series!

Hi Greg from the UK, Just found your channel enjoy your videos, you are one of the few people who do these sorts of videos who make them interesting to watch. Thank you.

[JohnPamplin]

I think the user sent you a bad board, and he KNEW the problem.

[MyWasteOfTime]

Greg talking about that old OLD 8th gen... Me looking left and then right with my 4th gen 4790K still running strong!

[marcogaddis]

Good to see he didn't change the gpu, i feel like sometimes people who send thier pc to get fixed just wants to get an upgrade mainly on the gpu.

[iiTzbean]

Love that you actually go through your comments and like and comment back

[RenatoG]

Amazing content as usual sir. A friend of mine just built his PC studying your videos.
