OK. I've tried everything suggested and concluded the original Mobo is
bad (maybe a small brown mark on top of the Southbridge chip should have
been a giveaway..).
So the new Mobo came in (Foxconn 845GV4MR-ES; from NewEgg). Tore up the
ol' rig, installed the CPU (Celeron 2.6GHz Northwood), the RAM (256K
PC2700), connected (a brand new) PSU and monitor (to the on-board Intel
video) and... and nothing! No beeps, nothing on the screen. The CPU and
PSU fans are spinning, but the thing is dead.
After building a few 'puters, I have not have this happen to me (yet).
So I re-checked all the connections, checked the PSU voltage, reseated
RAM and CPU, and still nothing! No beeps of any kind, no BIOS screen,
not even the monitor LED turns green (stays orange.. no signal).
Should I classify this Mobo as: DOA?
