Hi everyone,
I have got this board (https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/intel- … 5perl-rock-lake) with no obvious description if it is working or not but the board does not work, surprisingly 😀. The board is equipped with a P4 CPU, no ram, no VGA, and during the start there is no beep code what so ever. The CPU fan will spin, the LED indicating the power to board i lid. I have tried another P4 board and tested the CPU and PSU, tried both in this board as well with the same no-go. The PCI debug card is working on the good P4 board but on this one there is no numbers or activity what's so ever. The capacitors are looking ok, no leakage., and could not find any damage on the board. The BIOS is getting power as well.
Now, I am not sure what to try next, and if it is wort to try changing the capacitors or just forget about the board.
Any idea what to test before I start to change the capacitors?
thx, tomas
