I got a second identical mobo delivered today, so now I have |
8 |
a book. Check the connectors to the Front panel, all is correct. |
9 |
The mobo is Rev. 1.1. Swapped out ram, too, just to test. |

NO. Would that suggest a dead mobo? The little speaker is attached |
15 |
but does not beep or anything...... The power supply is plugged into |
16 |
the mobo correctly. It's a new power supply and cables. |

Yep, verified wiring 3 times. Might have a bad cable, so I'm going to replace |
24 |
them all one at a time and see if that makes any difference. The mobo |
25 |
is just not even trying to boot. No video signal to monitor. |

I shorted the 2 pins on the clr_cmos header, per the book for 4 second. |
33 |
That did not help. It was suppose to reset to factory defaults. |

The book does say the processor must be installed. This mobo is for |
41 |
the fx8350 so something is bad. I'm gonna build up the second machine |
42 |
and see what happens.... |
43 |
|
44 |
This mobo appears to be borked, right out of the box. |
45 |
|
46 |
any other ideas? |
