Blow a mobo?

[R600]

Hope I don't get biatch slapped for this.

Anyway, my friend is asking in what way can he blow his mobo. Wants to get a new mobo.

lol, ive killes a few mobos "accidentaly" before

As for ways to do it? The simplest is to break a few surface resistors off, or remove the bios chip.

Remove some capacitors, it will still work, but it will be highly unstable.

I suggest trying to short out components using a screwdriver. That way there's no physical evidence of tampering. Or, if he wants a whole new setup, try connecting stripped wires from the power supply directly to the processor and other places on the board and see what happens.

hold the motherboard with one hand,

grab a wire on to the other hand

then firmly place the wire to the power outlet

and let it stay there for a while,

feel that nice shake

the mb will be nice and fried

I like datalore's idea of no evidence of tampering. but need a more assurance that it'll breakdown on the first try coz I don't want to end up killing the PSU and the fusebox, then find out that the mobo still works.. lol

Take a 9 Volt battery (those rectangular shaped batteries), connect some wires to it, stick in different places, like on the BIOS chip... Try short circuiting some components...

Or better yet, take out everything but your motherboard and PSU, take a small cup with a bit of water, turn on your computer, drop some water on the mobo, and bingo... Fried mobo for lunch!
