I just received this motherboard....no caps have visible signs of problems.
It came with a Palomino XP-1900+ which I confirmed works in another Socket A board.
I am trying to verify if the board is still good. The Soyo site claims the VIA KT266A chipset supports PC1600 and PC2100 DDRAM.
I only have sticks of PC2700.
I discovered DIMM1 slot is damaged. Two legs are missing.
I inserted a PC2700 DIMM into the other slots, reset the BIOS jumper, and tried to boot. No joy.
No beeps, no video signal. Tried two working video cards.
Power button successfully shuts down power.
Is it the RAM I used? Or is this board porked (ie. dead BIOS or otherwise)?
