I soldered the Crystal oscillator, it seems higher in one side but it came back to life, tested with 3dmark99, 3dmark2k and 3dmark2k1 without issues. Mission complete!

Thank you for the tips, I do not have a flash uv eraser but I have the eeprom programmer so this will not be an issue, my main concern is that my revision is quite old while the guide is for rev starting from 1.7. Do you think it may be an issue?

Are the capacitors good on your boards? I have upgraded mine from those nonames near the CPU socket to Rubycon MBZ 2200uF/6.3V liquids and Fujitsu 560uF/4V polymers. Besides I have modded the socket, so it saves me the trouble of modding every Tillamook that gets in my way. Other CPUs don't care …
