    well the usual - make sure the RAM, CPU, cards, etc are all seated properly, try resetting the bios, remove the bios battery for a while (replace it if it's dead), check for bad caps that could be causing bad voltages to appear.

    oh and that's my favorite setup

        does it have an 8 pin 12v atx connector? I had a board that wouldn't boot if you plugged a 4 pin cable into the 8 pin socket.

            It could be that the board is just bad - did you buy it new or used? Did they say if it was working or not? Could be something is fried....other people should have more ideas and things for you to try. Good luck!

                  whoa.. do you try to run that thing ON A BLANKET?

                  ps: or a shirt?
                  pic #5 could show scratches, but it's hard to tell by the picture.

                  pps: do you have a port80 card? if no, the mobo speaker might be helpful too.

                            It looks like a scratch. Check the ends of those traces with a multimeter and see if they still connect. We had a Compaq laptop that did that. Showed the logo and then froze, no input, beeps or codes. Couldn't get that one repaired, the RTC got really hot.

                                    Go to "harbor freight" or the canadian equivalent and buy a $10 multimeter. You can't really troubleshoot electronics without one.

                                      ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
                                      by jbonavita
                                      Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
                                      With original bios no POST, only LED lights
                                      With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
                                      Some issues
                                      A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
                                      B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

                                      Things I tried

                                      1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...

                                      [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                                      by zenius
                                      Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

                                      Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

                                      Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
                                      by Wahaz
                                      Hello,

                                      I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
                                      So I thought it was a Bios problem.
                                      I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....
