![]() ![]() My thinking is this: Could the reason these motherboard are non-operational be the result of a failed BIOS update? You know, a BIOS update being done by someone not knowing exactly what they were doing, and the update failed for some reason and corrupting the BIOS? Also, why would all 5 motherboard indicate the same identical issues (green LED power light shows power, but nothing happens when the power button is pushed. My thinking is this: Why would all 5 motherboards look to be in perfect condition, but all 5 act exactly the same when attempting to power them up? Each of these 5 case/motherboard combo's were turned in from the same business, and appear to be identical setups. This was a salvage re-cycler that I've dealt with for many years and know that they weren't abused after they were received. These were all purchased at the same time and place. Situation: All of the cases (Antec Sonata II) are in very good condition, and each contained an identical D945GNT motherboard. It is a D820 Pentium "D" (2.8GHz/2M/800) and is supported by these motherboards.Ģ) Memory is 2 X 512MB sticks of DDR2 3200U (Micron), and is also tested good.ģ) Power supply is an Antec 550w that is tested as fully operational. They just do not activate when a processor and memory are installed, and the start button is pushed.ġ) The processor I'm using is good. Each of these boards displays the "Green" power LED when power is connected to the board. There are no bulging caps, no obvious burn marks or visible damage (I've look them over closely with a magnifing glass and nothing). All of the motherboards look to be in perfect shape. ![]() I recently purchased 5 Antec computer cases with Intel D945GNT motherboards installed. ![]()
