I'm trying to save this warrior, unfortunately the vertical transistor is constantly burning, and there are signs that others have already touched the board, I simply gave up on keeping the CRT, and I'm going to put an LCD in its place. The motherboard's output is a common VGA, and the power input appears to be a common ATX (I'm still not sure), but I don't know how the PSU connects the monitor together without it being on standby. I thought about making some contraption with relays, but I believe the solution is already present on its power supply board, so it would be smarter for me to repair it.

While we're at it, it was only sold with Celeron 466 and 500, but I would like to use a Pentium 3, I know it won't work immediately, but I remember that in the past there were mods with pins (and resistors?) to make Pentium 3 work with this chipset

What is the vertical transistor? There's no point in using this computer without the monitor, it's better to try and fix it.

The board was severely damaged by the previous owner, the tracks are about to come loose (the previous owner changed the vertical several times), there was definitely something else that caused the transistor to burn out. Unfortunately I can't find another eOne to use the parts on, this PCB is exclusive.

I bought a 15-inch LG CRT monitor, but the PCB doesn't fit inside
