Asus p7p55-lx, Light on, no post

[Ahokas99]

Found this beauty from our schools recycling/throwing away pile of old computers(athlon 64 x2's/775 pentiums and older)

 

The nice thing is that the mb included i7-860 which i have tested and it's working, a 500w random psu, 4gb of ddr3, 500gb seagate hdd with w7 enterprise os, case and finally working 9800gtx+

 

The thing is that the motherboards green light turns on when the whole thing has power but no fans or anything spins up, I have tried to start it with different cmos battery, with screwdriver from the pins and with a different surely working psu, but nothing works.

 

I have had a look around the board with magnifying glass and bright light, I didn't see any burned or broken parts etc, the pins are all good in the socket...

 

Is it totally busted or can I safe it somehow? 

 

Such a pitty to throw away perfectly looking board.

This bugged or what? 0 views?

I have a motherboard with an i3 inside of it lying around as well, and that doesn't work either.

Didn't get much help with it,

Only things I can say are the super generic things like...

-boot with single ram stack

-boot w/o ram

-boot w/o CPU

-check for beep codes

Etc etc

But I'm pretty sure you've tried that already.

Welp, im going to assume its just dead, no beeps etc with 2 different psu's and so on.

That's a shame... At least you have the CPU, which still kicks ass today

what ram are you using. They need to be 2gb sticks and try them both ways round.

I tested it with the same ram that i found it with (ram works 100%) 1333mhz 2gb sticks, and those do work with the mb since our school still uses this config, it just wont power on.

But hey free 500gb hdd,w7,i7-860,psu,ram,case and gainward 9800gtx+
