Brief summary: the OP reports a TEK 6633 all‑in‑one with a burned motherboard and limited local repair options in Namibia. Earlier replies from recommended removing the board for identification, reported a similar blank display with red/orange LEDs, and later offered a working unit. The most practical next steps are a careful identification/inspection, a few simple checks to narrow the fault, and then deciding between a donor board, component repair, or replacement.

Practical diagnostic checklist:

  • Power down and unplug. Do a careful visual inspection for burned traces, blackened components, bulging or leaking capacitors, and any blown fuses; take clear photos.
  • Record any PCB markings or sticker part numbers (look near memory slots, battery, and board edges) and note connector types and locations (power jack, LCD ribbon, audio/USB headers).
  • Confirm the AC adapter output with a multimeter and check for continuity/blown fuse at the DC‑in area. If meter work is unfamiliar, have a trained technician do this.
  • Try a minimal boot: remove the hard drive and peripherals, use one stick of RAM, clear CMOS, then power and observe LEDs/beeps for POST signs.
  • For data access, remove the HDD and use a USB adapter/enclosure on another machine.

Replacement and repair options: many all‑in‑one motherboards are custom for the chassis, so exact spare boards can be hard to find. A donor TEK 6633 or matching board part number is the most reliable route. Component‑level repair (power stage, DC jack, capacitors, fuses) can be far cheaper when damage is localized and a technician experienced with SMD parts is available. For Namibia, sourcing a used donor from nearby markets or a regional seller is often quickest.

Safety and follow‑up: mains safety and ESD precautions are essential. Useful information for identification includes full‑board photos (both sides), close‑ups of printed part numbers/stickers, the DC‑in area, and the LCD connector. Reference the symptoms noted by and the identification advice from when evaluating repair versus replacement; also note the donor offer by as a potential solution.

Con you put a link in your next post that tells us more about your Tek 6633 All-In-One PC, please?

Which operating system?

Do you make regular back-ups, would it be a problem to lose the data on the hard disk if it was absolutely necessary?

Lloyd, please start a new thread in this forum.

Victro, please have a look at this motherboard:

I'm not suggesting that you must buy that motherboard from that seller. But what you must do is to take the motherboard out of your computer and look for anything that might help identify it and the type of memory installed. (there will be a label attached to the memory detailing it's specifications) On the basis of the information you have already provided, your computer uses the Atom N270 processor, which might be embedded. (permanently attached, irremovable).

Please, please, please obey the laws of ESD - Electro Static Discharge. You can kill or dramatically shorten the life of any component or card through mishandling. Have a look at this website, or if you have time, this booklet. (PDF)

To make sure that any new motherboard you buy will be compatible with the rest of the features of your computer's housing, including the physical size and depth of the board, as well as connectors you must compare specifications. If you would like to post any part numbers you find here, or links to photo's, we would be happy to help.
