I bought this board because it's a Socket 7 ATX, has three ISA slots, uses SDRAM and has an onboard Yamaha sound chip. A very nice set of features.
Unfortunately, it does not work. Powering it on provides no video. Removing the video board, CPU, or memory does not provide any error beeps which suggests a deeper problem. There is some minor corrosion on some unpopulated traces but the board is overall in excellent condition with no missing components that I could find or damage to any traces.
One thing of note is that the power MOSFET adjacent to the ATX power connector gets extremely hot. The processor also heats up despite nothing happening at power on. The only sign of life is that the power supply fan will spin and the board is responding to the power-on pins.
Is anyone aware of what might be a common point of failure? Maybe the MOSFET?
