Anyone out there have any tricks for identifying these old generic boards? I want to see if it has a CMOS battery header..

No identifying labels between the slots or anywhere I can see.

Would help if you didn't cut off the bottom part of the board.

And gave more pictures, especially of higher resolution and on the sides.

Also, anything on the flip side?

Nothing on the flip side, but going any further on this system might be pointless now... 😢

I tried turning it on again (foolish without the re-cap, I know) and it's now completely dead. Pulled the PSU out and it's completely lifeless...no voltages at all.
