i have tried with a new bios chip, that was flashed with the bios image from a MSI-4134 board.
But still no bios codes on the PC analyzer card.....perhaps the board is dead ?

Maybe it's misconfigured ? But without any manuals, figuring out the comfig is going to be tough ...

Yes, could be that.

But still no manual for the jumpers, so it is going to be tough...
I will put it on the shelf for now, maybe someone will be able to find the jumper settings at some time.

haven't seen anyone else mention it yet so I'll add it here AV9107

Check if it is connected to any of the surrounding jumpers even the unpopulated ones and the unpopulated bridged ones.
I'm guessing JP26, by that lone jumper on there it's either configed at 40MHz or 50 MHz
Apparently this chip can set a clock from 2MHz up to 100MHz and you can verify if it works if you got an oscilloscope.

Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.

all you'd need would be a continuity function on a multimeter. no scope necessary.
