I have a very interesting motherboard TMC PCI54PV (VER. 1.2A) that has ISA, PCI and VESA Local Bus slots. The problem is, it won't boot and I don't know what's wrong. The previous owner sold it as working but hasn't provided any pictures as proof. I tried VLB, PCI and ISA video cards, different RAM sticks, a different CPU and a different PSU. Nothing worked. Note that nothing looks burned or damaged on the board itself. The board produces no beeps whatsoever.
My last hope is that the BIOS is perhaps bricked. Can I use a BIOS from a random socket 7 board and hope it works? Can I physically damage anything by doing that?
