The motherboard was from over ten years ago, that means that I probably won’t find one that matches the old APU and RAM that’s on it. I already can’t find a matching CPU fan for the APU, also no motherboard with DDR3 around. Part of the HHD is malfunction, but it’s workable. I was considering replacing them altogether someday, but maybe not so much now. The best scenario is I find out what’s wrong with the motherboard and fix it, then just keep using it.
