I assume I need to replace the whole thing (not sure if there is any liquid in it - it was fitted in 2014 and...

    Asus Rampage IV Black - motherboard or power supply dead?

    Asus Rampage IV Black - motherboard or power supply dead?

    Thank you - I knew I was over-thinking things but felt it must be something perhaps straight-forward. And I never thought about the mother-board battery! I'll replace that today. Thank you again.

    I had a Hitron router working ok with a netgear switch and a netgear nighthawk (to help with the wifi in my garden office) and everything was ok. The hitron was a relic of a VM business account I had but that eventually got switched off when we switched to a domestic HUB3.0. Since then the...
